An unusual & interesting set of circumstances with this lad. Anyone familiar with his work?
Eric Dier...
An England Under-21 defender plying his trade in Portugal, young Dier is getting attention from some Premier League clubs, Arsenal reportedly being one of them.
I wrote an article this morning about Arsenal's pressing need for acquiring a defender or two. A young, hungry and in this instance English might not go amiss, interesting story.
Not sure if it's got legs or is a realistic proposition, but food for thought all the same, I'll be keeping my eye on young Dier.

Yes and that was strange. Though it was a bit different because he'd not lived in England until he moved to us, as far as I'm aware.
Dier was born and raised in England until he was about 9 or 10.

We've joined so many races, it feels important

And his name sounds German, or maybe Dutch?

Would be strange having an English player that counts as a foreign player on the squad list.

About time. PL gets enough foreign youngsters that count as home grown. Always good to see an English player abroad.

Where does he actually play for Sporting? I've heard he can play anywhere along the back line but I'm not sure what his main position is.

Well he would be a typical Wenger signing as no one seems to know too much about him

As a centreback I think.

Ok cheers. I know he's been playing there for the under 21's.
I suppose his versatility could be valuable as well if Arsenal sign him, especially given how many injuries you seem to pick up.

I bought him on FIFA for my Leicester save. Was meant to get to 83 but is stuck at 81 and is therefore my fourth choice after Hutchinson, Marquinhos and Varane.
Solid defender. FIFA is 100% in these things.
