Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to sell Eric Dier before the end of the summer transfer window.
The England international has just entered his 10th season in North London and is currently one of the club's longest-serving players.
A total of 13 goals and 12 assists have come from his 361 appearances in all competitions, but none of those outings have been made during 2023-24.
Dier has not featured in either of Ange Postecoglou's opening two squads since his arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Spurs collecting four points from those respective fixtures against Brentford and Manchester United.
With Dier also missing out on the captain's armband when Harry Kane departed the club earlier this month, Postecoglou has seemingly made his thoughts clear regarding the 29-year-old's status in the squad.

Earlier in the summer, it was claimed that Dier had no intention of leaving Spurs at the present time, despite having less than a year remaining on his contract.
However, according to the Daily Mail, Spurs would be prepared to sell the versatile player for the right price.
Postecoglou has already overseen widespread changes at Spurs, making six additions of his own on the back of permanent deals being completed for Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski.
Spurs can also claim to be in a solid financial position on the back of selling Kane, yet much of that money will be earmarked for a replacement for their all-time top goalscorer.

The report suggests that Fulham may make an approach for Dier as they consider potential alternatives to Tosin Adarabioyo, who is likely to be sold.
Spurs have been credited as admirers of Adarabioyo in the past, although there would be a difference in asking prices if a part-exchange deal was to be discussed.
Celtic have also been linked with a move for Dier at a time when Spurs have five senior central defenders on their books, as well as youngster Ashley Phillips.
However, Japhet Tanganga is another player who could leave Spurs, with the homegrown talent said to be attracting the interest of Luton Town.
