Premier League giants Tottenham could be about to sell one of their unwanted players.

The North London side have been surprised to learn of interest in a backup defender from Bayern Munich.

The German giants are being linked with a shock last-minute swoop for Eric Dier.

The 29-year-old, who is out of contract in a year, would be a backup if he signs for Bayern.

Manager Thomas Tuchel does admire Dier from his time coaching Chelsea in the Premier League.

The fact that former Spurs star Harry Kane is at Bayern is telling, as him and Dier are close friends.
