Eric Dier: Tottenham want to be Champions League regular

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier says their priority remains the Premier League - despite their return to the Champions League this season.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are set to take part in Europe's primary club competition for only the second time in their history and begin their campaign against Monaco next week.

"We're really looking forward to playing again in the Premier League after the international break and we need to kick on this season," Dier told Sky Sports.

"The aim is to make Champions League football a regular thing for Tottenham.

"The league is still a massive priority for us and this year we have the lovely distraction of the Champions League as well so it's a really exciting season."
