Brilliant. Think he'll be the bargain of the Summer. And it's 5M Euros so about 4M pounds or about 1/5th of a Lovren. How's that carefully crafted Liverpool transfer strategy, Brent?
That's a peach of a through ball from Kane as well.

[h=1]Garth Crooks's team of the week[/h]
[h=2]DEFENDER - Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur)[/h]
Eric Dier told BBC Match of the Day he was "not that sure" why he went forward in the last minute
He started at centre-back, went to right-back and finished like a striker in the 1-0 win over West Ham. I agree with his uncle who texted me to say he wasn't sure what a right-back was doing there scoring with his left foot in the 93rd minute. He does have a point.
Did you know? Born in England but moved to Portugal as a child and came through the Sporting Lisbon academy.
Very reminiscent of Lennon's against Woolwich a couple of years back.
Excellent first touch - too often 'strikers' will push it too far and then have to go for the sham penalty.
why is he so far up?
who cares!

I've read a quote from Dier in which he says he wasn't even sure what he was doing heading that far forward...
yep he said it to the BBC.
so it confirms that it wasn't part of poch's training.
He went on to establish himself in the side, regularly playing as a central midfielder, before a fractured rib curtailed his first season in the first team.
Dier was in and out of the team the following season, usually slotting in at centre-back or in a defensive midfield role.
In all, he played 32 senior games for Sporting, scoring once.
