Tottenham Hotspur to loan out Eric Dier?

Eric Dier could reportedly leave Tottenham Hotspur on loan during the January transfer window.

Following a positive start to his career at White Hart Lane after his summer arrival from Sporting Lisbon, the 20-year-old has found starting opportunities hard to come by of late.

His chances of action could now have been further limited, with Kyle Walker having returned to fitness and DeAndre Yedlin arriving at the club next month.

As a result, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is open to the prospect of loaning out the England Under-21 international to enhance his development, according to the London Evening Standard.

Dier has made 16 appearances in all competitions this season, from which he has scored two goals.
