“He has attributes that we’ve been missing” Dier glowing praise of teammate

By Bruce Grove -

Eric Dier has spent only a few days with new Tottenham signing, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, but the Englishman admits that the former Bayern Munich man is different and brings something new to the Tottenham team.

Spurs managed to secure the signature of the Dane from Southampton this summer despite interest from Everton.

He has been involved in the club’s pre-season preparations ahead of the new season including their preseason games.

Dier will face his new teammate when England takes on Denmark in the UEFA Nations League this evening and he was speaking about the midfielder ahead of the game.

He claimed that Hojbjerg brings something fresh that he and his teammates have been missing.

“After seeing him more closely since he arrived at Tottenham, he’s a great player,” said Dier when previewing the game, as reported by the London Evening Standard.

“He’s going to bring a lot to the Tottenham team. He has attributes that we’ve been missing. He’s very professional, he has a fantastic attitude and work rate and I think he brings leadership qualities as well.

“He speaks a lot on the pitch, he pushes his teammates and he demands things from his teammates.

“In the way that he plays, he’s quite combative and aggressive and brings more fight to the midfield, which is good for us.”

Jose Mourinho has had a busy summer transfer window even though these are early days and the special one will hope that Hojbjerg will be able to deliver the goods that he expects from him when the campaign gets underway.
