Ange: We can still let Dier go despite Davies injury
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says he is willing to let Bayern Munich target Eric Dier go despite Ben Davies picking up a hamstring injury.
Sky in Germany are reporting that Dier and Bayern have a total verbal agreement, with the 29-year-old being offered a one-and-a-half-year deal by the German champions.
Dier, whose Spurs contract expires this summer, missed Friday night's FA Cup third-round win over Burnley but Postecoglou confirmed he was absent due to an injury with his omission nothing to do with a potential move away.
The Australian said on Dier: "He's injured. He just pulled up sore and didn't train yesterday."
Questioned whether his absence was to do with a potential move to Bayern, Postecoglou responded: "Separate issue mate, but don't question my integrity.
When I say he's injured, he's injured. He didn't train yesterday. I can get Vision [Spurs' training system footage] in for you, you can ask him. It's got nothing to do with anything else."
Asked again about the Bayern links, he said: "I've got no idea. When you ask me whether he's injured, he's injured. I didn't make that up. If he wasn't injured I'd say he wasn't selected. It's easy for me to say.
"He's injured and in terms of anything else that's happening, not on my radar. Not that I've heard of. If there is something I'm sure I'll hear of it, but fair to say in the last 24 hours we've been focusing on the game and the guys that are available."
Asked whether he could afford to lose Dier this month with Davies now injured, Postecoglou simply replied: "Yes."
Meanwhile, Tottenham remain in talks with Genoa over the signing of defender Radu Dragusin.
Spurs have no concerns about Napoli's interest in the Romanian international.
Signing a centre-back remains a priority in the January transfer window for Spurs.
