Eric Dier has opened up about his friendship with Dele Alli, expressing deep regret over not providing more support to his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate during challenging times. The duo developed a strong bond during their six-and-a-half years together at Spurs before Alli’s departure to Everton in January 2022.

Dier, 30, revealed his feelings on The Overlap, presented by Sky Bet, saying, “It’s difficult for me to talk about Dele. I speak to him all the time, every week it was just very difficult to watch.” He added, “I’m disappointed that I didn’t do more, in many situations that I look back on I wasn’t aware of the full picture and there’s a lot of things – I was that annoying older person, I would always be on his case so he would hide things from me.”

Despite his regrets, Dier praised Alli’s character, noting, “Dele is a special person.” Both players represented England at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. Alli has faced injury setbacks during his time at Everton, while Dier recently joined Bayern Munich after leaving Spurs in January.
