Versatile Eric Dier content playing with Spurs, insists Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino insists Eric Dier has never told him he is unhappy with his role at Tottenham.

Dier has been used in a variety of positions by Pochettino, who played the 22-year-old at full-back when he first took charge, only to subsequently use him in midfield and central defence.

Toby Alderweireld’s return to fitness and Victor Wanyama’s impressive form anchoring Tottenham’s midfield means Dier’s place in the team has come under threat.
