Tottenham plotting fast to sell Dier and sign 25-year-old as January replacement

According to Football Insider, Tottenham would aim to recruit Tosin Adarabioyo in January if they can offload Eric Dier.

Spurs were interested in the Fulham defender for the majority of the summer transfer season and are expected to explore a deal in the winter window, either for a reduced cost or as part of a pre-contract arrangement.

After the Cottagers exercised the 12-month extension clause in January this year, Adarabioyo’s contract will end in June 2024.

The Lilywhites did sign Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven, but a late deal for Adarabioyo fell through.

Current centre-back option Eric Dier has entered the final year of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is yet to feature for the side this term.

The England international signed an extension to his deal back in 2020 after joining from Sporting in 2014.

Last month (14 August), Football Insider revealed that there was a real possibility the centre-back would quit the club in the summer window after being left out of the squad for their Premier League opener

But, as quoted by the BBC after the game, Postecoglou insisted Dier remains a part of the team despite his absence.

The 29-year-old has made 360 appearances for Spurs during his nine years at the club, netting 13 goals and offering up 12 assists in those outings.
