Tottenham defender Dier: Gil always wants the ball; never hides

Tottenham defender Eric Dier says he's been quickly won over by new signing Bryan Gil.

Gil arrived over the summer from Sevilla.

Dier said, “Bryan as well, I've been impressed with him, in a new country, and he plays with a lot of courage, a lot of confidence, always wants the ball, never hiding. That's great to see. He has a lot of quality as well."

Dier also had a positive word for former Barcelona fullback Emerson Royal.

“The same goes for Emerson, he's settled in so well, a great character, a lot of fun, works very hard. I've been really impressed with him, his work rate, always in the gym, always looking after himself."
