Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier has admitted that he is looking forward to the future after signing a new contract with the club.

The 21-year-old defender has put pen to paper on a fresh five-year deal at White Hart Lane just a season after joining from Sporting Lisbon.

Dier has suggested that Spurs have a team in place that will only get better in the coming years.

"If you look at the training centre, the young squad, the new stadium coming through - the club is in a great place and as long as we stick together, everything is looking very exciting," he told Tottenham's official website.

"We have a young team, a core of young English players and young players in general and there is such a great future for the club."

Dier has made 41 appearances for Spurs in all competitions.
