Eric Dier has joined Harry Kane at Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
Bayern confirmed the signing in a statement on their website.
“Bayern have signed Eric Dier from Tottenham Hotspur on a deal until 30 June 2024, with the option for a further year.
“The England international defender will wear the No.15 shirt in Munich.“
Commenting on the loan deal, Dier said:“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.”
