According to TBR Football, Eric Dier, a defender for Bayern Munich, has lost favor with the German team under Vincent Kompany, and Wolverhampton Wanderers is keeping an eye on him. Dier has not yet been selected from the start in the league under Kompany, despite starting 13 Bundesliga games in the second half of the previous campaign at the Allianz Arena under Thomas Tuchel. The former Burnley manager has favored players like Kim Min-jae and Dayot Upamecano over the former Tottenham player, who has only played 141 minutes of football across all competitions this season.
Wolves, along with Brighton and Brentford, are keeping an eye on Dier’s condition as a result of his drop in popularity and may make a move for him in January if he is still used infrequently. Although the Englishman is still hoping that Bayern would grant him a new contract, he is also hopeful that he will be called up to the Three Lions once more as a result of Tuchel’s arrival. As a result, he is aware that playing regular football will improve his chances of getting called up.
Wolves Eyeing Move for Dier
Ending his nine-and-a-half year love affair with Tottenham in January, having made 365 appearances for the Lillywhites, Dier joined German giants Bayern in a shock move. Frequently picked by Tuchel, the England international has found himself further down the pecking order under Kompany, and could now be set to cut his spell in Bavaria short.
TBR Football report that Wolves have one eye on the defender’s situation, and are ready to make a move for him in January. Gary O’Neil’s side have endured a torrid start to the season, only securing their first victory of the campaign on Saturday against Southampton, and have conceded more goals than any other team in the Premier League.
Subsequently, O’Neil is eager to strengthen his central defensive cohort in the winter window, and find an upgrade on the likes of Toti Gomes and Craig Dawson. Dier, currently earning a modest £80,000 a week, has been identified as a potential market opportunity that they could look to explore in two months’ time, although the 30-year-old wants a new contract at Bayern.
It’s understood that Bayern are open to talks over a new deal for Dier, but can’t make any guarantees over increased game time.
