WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Dier said upon his confirmation as a Bayern player: "This move is a dream come true for me, because as a child you want to play for a club like Bayern one day. Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and has an incredible history. I want to help the team with my versatility in defence. I’m really looking forward to my new teammates and the fans at the Allianz Arena, which in my eyes is one of the best stadiums in the world."</p>

WHAT DIER SAID

<p>Dier's role at Tottenham has been a minor one since coach Ange Postecoglou took charge this season. He went from playing 33 times in the Premier League last term to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/january-transfer-window-2024-biggest-deals-graded/blt37660b6e0275a4dd" target="_blank">making just four appearances in the top-flight</a> in the first half of the current campaign, sparking his desire to leave north London to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/eric-dier-bayern-harry-kane-tottenham/blt6d332e4dd15b2b86" target="_blank">team up with Kane once again in the Bundesliga</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It is not yet known if the England international will be named in the Bayern squad that faces Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Friday. The Bavarian side are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/bundesliga/table/6by3h89i2eykc341oz7lv1ddd" target="_blank">second in the German top-flight</a>, four points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen.</p>
