Tottenham veteran Eric Dier believes that his best years are in front not behind him.

The centre back and defensive midfielder faces a battle on his hands this season.

While Dier has been preferred by previous coaches Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, he may not be first choice for Ange Postecoglou.

"Yeah, I'm planning on being here!" he stated on his future, per football.london.

"I can control what I can control. I can control playing well, being fit, training well, playing well.

“Those are the things I can control. Those kind of things [such as contract talks] are something that involve other people. So there needs to be mutuality there. I can't speak for the other side (and whether Spurs want to give him a new deal).

“All I can say is, look, I'm going to do what I can do, control what I can control and try to have a great season."
