Report: Spurs make surprising Eric Dier transfer decision ahead of January
Football Insider have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are willing to let Eric Dier leave on a free transfer in January.
We relayed a report from The Athletic last week, which claimed that Tottenham are listening to offers for Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ahead of January.
The outlet claimed that while the Dane’s preference is to join Juventus next month, the centre-back is more likely to depart when his contract runs out at the end of the season.
Spurs do not want a transfer fee for Eric Dier
Football Insider have now asserted that Tottenham have told Dier to find a new club and have opted to let him leave on a free transfer after Ange Postecoglou made it clear that the 29-year-old is not part of his plans.
The outlet says that Hojbjerg and Hugo Lloris have also been asked to find new clubs, with Spurs also willing to let the Frenchman leave without a transfer fee. The report reveals that all three players have now instructed their representatives to find new clubs.

It sounds like Tottenham’s priority is to trim their wage bill to make room for new signings. That makes sense rather than waiting for Dier to run his contract down until the summer.
If the 29-year-old is available on a free transfer, there will likely be significant interest in his services over the next few weeks.
