Tottenham are looking to offload a number of their squad before Friday's 11pm deadline but defender Eric Dier would prefer to see out his contract if possible and leave as a free agent next year.
Fulham are among the clubs to have considered the England international who has dropped down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou and following the arrival of Micky van der Ven.
Tottenham are hoping to offload a number of other squad players: One is left-back Sergio Reguilon, amid interest from Fulham, Manchester United - to a lesser degree - and Nottingham Forest.
