Tottenham defender Eric Dier says Pierluigi Gollini has made an excellent early impact.

The Italian arrived from Atalanta in August.

Dier told the club's website: “Pier's been amazing.

"It was probably easier for him to settle because he speaks really good English and has been in England before. He brings great energy to the dressing room, great energy to training, always giving 100 per cent, which isn't always easy for goalkeepers if they're not playing all the time, but his commitment in training and commitment to get better is fantastic.

"He's another big character and he brings a lot to the dressing room, during the week, matchdays, and he's settled in so quickly. Nothing but positives."
