Tottenham midfielder Dier urges fans not to pressure England pal Loftus-Cheek

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier has urged fans not to expect too much from England teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

The Chelsea midfielder, on-loan at Crystal Palace, was outstanding on debut against Germany last Friday.

Dier said, "He showed a great attitude, willing to get on the ball anywhere, with the confidence to do that and that's fantastic and great to see.

"Ruben is a big boy. He's been the same since he was 12 I think. He's strong, he's got great physicality, he moves the ball really well.

"There's fantastic potential there and hopefully he keeps working hard to fulfil it."
