Sporting CP considering a move for Tottenham Hotspur central defender Eric Dier
Tottenham’s central defender, Eric Dier, appears to be on the cusp of a career revival as the January transfer window looms large on the footballing horizon.
Having amassed an impressive tally of 270 appearances for Tottenham, which includes a respectable 12 goals, Dier’s market value, as per Transfermarkt.com, currently stands at a noteworthy 18 million euros.

According to reports from The Times, the 29-year-old might find solace in the form of a potential return to his former stomping ground, Sporting CP, in Portugal. The Lisbon-based club has extended an enticing offer to their former youth sensation, presenting him with a golden opportunity to resurrect his footballing journey.
