Eric Dier signs a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur, keeping him at the club until 2021.

Eric Dier has committed his future to Tottenham Hotspur by signing a new five-year contract at White Hart Lane.

The 22-year-old holding midfielder has become an integral part of Mauricio Pochettino's side since his arrival at the club from Sporting Lisbon in 2014.

Dier particularly impressed during Spurs' Premier League title challenge last season as he was rewarded with a place in the England team for Euro 2016.

After scoring on his Tottenham debut against West Ham United on the opening day of the 2014-15 campaign, Dier has gone on to make a further 90 appearances and has scored six goals.

During that time, Dier has switched positions from defence to midfield, where he has cemented a place in the Spurs team.

The Cheltenham-born player is the second first-team star within a week to commit his future to Tottenham following Christian Eriksen's new four-year deal.
