Eric Dier holds talks with Levy after being excluded by Postecoglou.

Tottenham defender Eric Dier has had a dramatic start to his season. Following the appointment of Ange Postecoglou as manager, Eric has found himself surplus to requirements and has yet to be included in the squad for the first five matches of the season.

In August, Eric rejected a loan move to Burnley but with Davinson Sanchez leaving the club, Postcoglou has been left short on defensive back-up, throwing Eric a lifeline. As a result, Eric has held crunch talks with chairman Daniel Levy to understand his future position at the club.

Hugo Lloris had a similar meeting with Levy in August, as Postecoglou is the head coach and has the authority to handle the futures of the playing squad. Eric is keen to remain in London and is hopeful to secure a place in the squad.

This news comes as former Chelsea manager Graham Potter has rejected an approach from Lyon. It has been a dramatic start to the season, so fans will have to wait and see how this situation develops.
