Eric Dier excited by Tottenham Hotspur move

Eric Dier admits that he is eager to make a swift impact at Tottenham Hotspur following his move from Sporting Lisbon.

Eric Dier has revealed that he hopes to make an instant impact at Tottenham Hotspur following his move from Sporting Lisbon.

The Cheltenham-born defender, 20, recently sealed a switch to White Hart Lane after spending his formative years in Portugal.

Dier, who has won five caps for the England Under-21s, is now eager to enjoy a good first season in the Premier League.

"Obviously Spurs is a massive club. I've known about them since I was young. I've always enjoyed the way they play, the attacking football," he told Tottenham's official website.

"This season I just want to adapt really quickly to the Premier League, do the best I can, try my hardest and hopefully get a good season."

Spurs return to pre-season action this evening when they meet Celtic in Helsinki.
