Eric Dier has revealed that during the lockdown, a lot of things were going through his mind and he did consider quitting Tottenham.
The defender has been a key member of the Tottenham team this season under Jose Mourinho, but it wasn’t always like that.
He had struggled to play for Spurs last season and he didn’t get the chance to play international football for the whole of that campaign.
He also had an expiring contract towards the end of last season and he claimed that he did consider his future at the club.
He said that he considered his Tottenham future because he didn’t think that he was achieving what he needed to achieve at the club and as the end of his deal approached, it was almost inevitable that he would leave.
He told Mail Online: ‘That was definitely on my mind, I didn’t feel like I was achieving what I wanted. When your contract starts to come to an end, you question if you’re part of the future.
‘I had no desire to be at a club in the last year of my contract. The club knew the summer would see a decision made either way.’
He is now one of the first names on the team sheet and the defender will hope things remain that way.
