ERIC DIER has agreed a stunning switch to Bayern Munich, it’s been claimed.

The England defender and midfielder has fallen further down the Tottenham pecking order since Ange Postecoglou‘s appointment as manager.

Dier, 29, began assessing his options once it became clear he wasn’t part of the Aussie’s plans at the club.

And the midfielder has agreed a deal in principle to join German giants Bayern, according to reports.

The Times claim the England international has “reached an agreement in principle” with the Bavarians after initial talks.

Dier is free to speak to the Bundesliga big boys as his contract with Spurs expires at the end of the season.

Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel has identified the versatile Dier as a target to bolster his defence, although the former Sporting Lisbon ace is one of four potential options.

And it’s claimed Bayern believe they have the “green light” to press on with a move for the out-of-favour Spurs star.

Despite Dier seemingly being surplus to requirements, it’s not known whether or not Spurs would be willing to part ways with him.

Postecoglu, however, has previously hinted that his future lay away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

That came in the form of a refusal to confirm whether or not he was part of his plans last October.

The former Celtic chief said: “I haven’t had any chats with Eric. He’s training and he’s making himself available.

“With all these guys, if they feel the need to discuss their future I’m more than happy to do that.

“But I’m not going to go out and seek it unless I see there’s an issue.”
