Thomas Tuchel already has huge expectations from the English soccer star. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the German boss said, “He’s a specialist at centre-back. We’re getting him for the centre-back position, can play right or left centre-back as well as in back 3. He also used to play as #6 in Premier League some years ago.

The 29-year-old’s contract with Spurs will end this summer, and the team’s head coach, Ange Postecoglou, does not plan to retain Dier. Many believed that he wanted the English star to stay, as center-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero would be absent for an extended period. However, to fill the void, the 58-year-old chose full-backs Ben Davies and Emerson.

Also, across all competitions, he just wore the boots four times. Recently, a French legend too shared his thoughts regarding Dier’s move.
