Spurs 'considering offers for Eric Dier'
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to sell Eric Dier before the end of the summer transfer window.
The England international has just entered his 10th season in North London and is currently one of the club's longest-serving players.
A total of 13 goals and 12 assists have come from his 361 appearances in all competitions, but none of those outings have been made during 2023-24.
Dier has not featured in either of Ange Postecoglou's opening two squads since his arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Spur collecting four points from those respective fixtures against Brentford and Manchester United.

Barcelona's Alonso 'given chance to return to Premier League'
Barcelona defender Marcos Alonso has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for a club in the Premier League.
Last summer, Alonso brought his long-term association with Chelsea to an end to make the switch to Camp Nou, where he became an important member of Xavi's squad.
The 32-year-old was not necessarily expected to become a regular at Barcelona, yet he would end the season with 37 appearances to his name in all competitions.
Alonso also chipped in with three goals, but failed to provide a single assist - one of his strengths at Chelsea - courtesy of deputising in the middle of the defence rather than regularly featuring at left-back.

Brighton 'closing in on £25m Carlos Baleba deal'
Brighton & Hove Albion are reportedly closing in on the signing of Lille midfielder Carlos Baleba.
The 19-year-old has emerged as the Seagulls' top target to replace Moises Caicedo, who was sold to Chelsea for a British-record £115m last week.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi revealed last week that Brighton are working to sign a replacement for Caicedo before the summer transfer window closes and that "many midfielders" are on their radar.
Brighton came forward with an opening offer of €16m (£13.8m) including add-ons for Baleba earlier this month, but that bid was rejected by Lille as they valued the teenager closer to €30m (£25m).

Transfer rumours: Balogun to Fulham, Sinisterra to Brentford, Meslier to Bayern
Fulham have apparently stepped up their interest in Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun following Aleksandar Mitrovic's move to Saudi Arabia.
Following weeks of speculation, Mitrovic finally completed a big-money move to Al-Hilal last week, leaving Raul Jimenez and Carlos Vinicius to battle for starts at the tip of the Cottagers attack.
However, Marco Silva's side have flattered to deceive in the opening two gameweeks of the 2023-24 season, securing a fortunate win over Everton before a 3-0 humbling at the hands of Brentford.
Arsenal's Balogun has supposedly emerged as an attacking target for the Cottagers, and according to the Daily Mail, Fulham are now intensifying their pursuit of the USA international.
