Pochettino insists Dier's future is at Tottenham

The versatile 22-year-old - who is contracted until 2021 after signing a new deal in September - did play in Wednesday's 3-0 win over lowly Hull City. Pochettino is adamant the former Sporting CP player will stay put.

"Absolutely no," Pochettino said afterwards when asked if Dier could leave in January.

"Eric Dier is our player. He is still under contract, we improved his salary after the Euros.

"There is no doubt that his future is at Tottenham."

Dier has made 14 appearances in the Premier League this season, with 12 of those as a starter.

That follows an impressive season at Spurs, where he played in all but one of their league games as they reached the Champions League.
