Bayern and Chelsea chase Dier

Dier, who can play either in midfield or central defence, is reportedly unhappy at his first team prospects under Mauricio Pochettino.

The Spurs boss seems to prefer a central midfield partnership of Victor Wanyama and Moussa Dembele, while it would be difficult to envisage Dier muscling his way past Toby Alderweireld or Jan Vertonghen at centre-back.

According to 'The Times', Chelsea are away of the Spurs player's situation and are ready to make a bid for the disgruntled England international, while Bayern Munich, who tried to sign Dier last summer, are also interested in the former Sporting Lisbon man.

In two-and-a-half years at White Hart Lane, Dier has played 106 games and scored four goals for Spurs.
