Eric Dier is set to land a contract extension at Tottenham after returning to the first team under Jose Mourinho.

The England midfielder, 25, has one full season left on his current deal at Spurs and will be one of the next to discuss fresh terms following Toby Alderweireld committing his future to the club.

Dier lost his place in Mauricio Pochettino’s team earlier in the campaign but has started all but one of Mourinho’s games in his first month since being appointed.

He would be expected to pick up at least £75,000-a-week under fresh terms to the contract he extended in 2016, two years after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in a £4million deal.

Since returning from Portugal, after moving there in his childhood, he has established himself in the England squad and scored the decisive penalty in the shoot-out win against Colombia at the World Cup last year.

Last season he was struck with appendicitis then missed much of the rest of the season with tonsillitis and a hip injury which eventually required surgery.

He returned to Pochettino’s team just before the Argentinian coach was dismissed, with Mourinho keeping him in the team in his defensive midfield role.
