The days appear “numbered” for the player.

The Daily Mail journalist Sami Mokbel has revealed details of a “frosty” altercation that transpired between Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and a single Spurs player.

Ange suffers third consecutive league defeat

Although manager Ange Postecoglou recently won his third consecutive Premier League Manager of the Month award, he has now lost three straight league games on the field.

Since Spurs’ 4-1 loss to Chelsea at the beginning of November, a slew of devastating injury blows and suspensions have reduced the team to almost nothing, with up to 10 players currently sidelined.

Tottenham fell 2-1 against Aston Villa despite playing a fairly respectable overall game, creating numerous opportunities and having the opportunity to win the match. Now, they will take on league leaders Man City, who are experiencing their worst run of play since the Antonio Conte era.

Postecoglou remarked of Spurs’ 2-1 loss to Villa, “I said during the week I wasn’t happy with the way we played at Wolves, so that’s a different performance.”

“Again, it’s not like we couldn’t have won the game, but I wasn’t happy with the outcome in terms of the advancement we still need to make. It’s not the same today. I reasoned that since we are playing the same game today and will continue to do so until we get everyone back, we should be a formidable football team, as we have already demonstrated.

“Right now, we’re still constructing a team, so we just need to make sure the players stay focused on what matters most. You need to win football games to be in the running to be in a strong position at season’s end. The most crucial thing to remember is that moving forwards must be done so with the ultimate objective in mind. Today was all about attempting to play the football we want to play. If we didn’t meet our goals, then we didn’t meet them today, in my opinion. I assumed we were just missing out on prizes and having narrow margins.”

Spurs would have had something to show for their efforts on any other day, and there were undoubtedly positives to take away from the incredibly entertaining ninety minutes in north London.

During the match, Postecoglou started Emerson Royal and Ben Davies at center back, a move that shows how much he trusted Eric Dier.

Levy’s “frosty” confrontation with Dier

Given that his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, Dier is a strong contender to depart Tottenham in 2024. In fact, the 29-year-old might depart as early as January. Rumor has it that Dier is being eyed by Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich in a “shock” mid-season move.

Journalist Mokbel of the Mail now believes that Dier may depart Spurs quickly because his time at N17 appears to be “numbered.” Interestingly, the reporter also claims that early this year, the player and chairman Levy were the subject of some “frosty” backroom discussions.

Although he has been a wonderful asset to the team, the former Sporting Lisbon star’s future might be very far off.
