West Ham join fight for Dier

In recent weeks, Dier has been on everyone's lips. But not because of his possible departure from Tottenham, but because he stormed into the stands and hit a fan. Now talk of him moving elsewhere is back: West Ham want him. 

Even Manchester United ended up noting down his name. The player is, this season, one of Jose Mourinho's key men. He has made 25 appearances this term, 19 of them as a starter. He has also got two assists.

To get him to leave Spurs, an amount of around 17 million pounds, his current market value, will have to put on the table. his contract runs until 2021 so the club still have some negotiating power. Everything will be sorted in the summer. 

But the move could be thwarted by the coach. Dier is one of Mourinho's favourites. If the Portuguese manages to persuade the former Sporting Lisbon academy player not to leave the club, it will be more difficult to sign him.
