Spurs defender Dier doesn't regret Everton spell

Tottenham defender Eric Dier has no regrets over his short spell at Everton.

While still with Sporting CP, Dier spent six months on-loan at Everton two years ago.

"That was hard for me, going to Liverpool because I was there by myself," he told the Mail on Sunday.

"I was 16, 17. I had left Portugal, which was my home and left my friends and family. So it was a massive culture shock. But it helped me a lot. I always say I went there a boy and went back a man."
