FC Bayern have sealed the signing of Eric Dier from Tottenham Hotspur on a deal until June 30, with the option for a further year.

The England international defender, who will wear the No.15 shirt in Munich, said after penning the deal: “This move is a dream come true for me, because as a child you want to play for a club like Bayern one day. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and has an incredible history.

“I want to help the team with my versatility in defence. I’m really looking forward to my new teammates and the fans at the Allianz Arena, which in my eyes is one of the best stadiums in the world.”

Christoph Freund, FC Bayern sporting director said: “We’re pleased we’ve been able to sign Eric Dier. He’s long been in our thinking for this transfer window. Eric will be a valuable part of our defence. His sporting abilities and international experience will help the team both on the pitch and in the changing room.”
