Tottenham Hotspur defender-cum-midfielder Eric Dier believes that the Lilywhites have the squad strength to compete in all competitions.

The White Hart Lane outfit are currently competing on three fronts, the Premier League, the Europa League and the FA Cup.




The 22-year-old Sporting Lisbon youth product has moved to midfield this year, having played the majority of his career as a central defender.

Dier has managed to make 33 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side this season, chipping in with four goals.
 


The England international believes Spurs’ performance in the FA Cup this season is testament to the squad depth that they have.

The 22-year-old feels that everyone is required to be prepared to come in and help the team.

Dier insists that there is a lot of competition for places in Pochettino’s side and this has been key in helping the White Hart Lane outfit, as everyone is working very hard to get into the starting eleven.

Speaking in an interview with Spurs TV, Dier said: “Yes, of course [we have the squad to challenge on all fronts]. I think we have proved that over the last couple of weeks in the FA Cup.

“In the FA Cup we have changed a lot of team from Saturdays to Wednesdays etc.

“So you know there’s no starting eleven, we are a squad and we have proved that.

“There have been people coming in and doing very well.

“You know everyone has to be ready, there’s lots of competition for places, so it’s only good for us.

“There’s competition and everyone is working very hard so that they can be able to be in the starting eleven.”

Ninth placed Watford travel to White Hart Lane tomorrow to take on Pochettino’s side.
