Tottenham boss Mourinho: Centre-half suits Dier

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is delighted with Eric Dier's work at centre-half.

The 26-year-old has started centre-back in our last six games in all competitions - four before football's enforced three-month break due to the coronavirus.

“I like to praise individuals, but I prefer to praise the collective," said Mourinho after the vital win against West Ham. “The team defensively was very strong.

“Again, two matches, one goal conceded on a penalty and people like Ben (Davies), Dier, (Davinson) Sanchez, Serge (Aurier), they were really strong.

“Eric is playing really well and adapting very well to a position that he thinks, and personally I also think, is a great position for him."
