Manchester United target Dier is worth more to Tottenham than £50m

The England international has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford but the versatile midfielder is indispensable to Spurs

Eric Dier continues to be linked with a move from Tottenham to Manchester United this summer. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy takes a particularly hard-line stance when it comes to transfers - the sales of Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Carrick to United were protracted affairs - and is understood to have placed a value of around £50 million on the England international.

However, in today’s market, that appears to be exceptional value for a player who has excelled in both defensive midfield and central defence.
