Bayern fans are seemingly happy with the deal so far, which has surprised more than a few Tottenham fans.
Dier wasn’t trusted at Hotspur Way this season, yet is impressive at one of the Champions League favourites. Well, the Bundesliga is very different.
Dier is also still a means to an end for Tuchel at Bayern, with his defensive line suffering numerous setbacks this season. Nevertheless, he’ll be seriously happy with the start the English powerhouse has made.
