Chelsea beating Tottenham 4-1 on Monday evening was something of a crazy match with endless talking points to take from it.
Now many will have been left with Eric Dier being chief among those, despite his brilliant strike for a goal which was ultimately disallowed.
However over in Italy’s capital city, the appearance has caused some excitement. That’s because AS Roma have been interested in the Tottenham player.
Jose Mourinho knows him from the manager’s time in charge at Spurs, and given he’s having issues with his defensive choices, Dier would be a January option.
One of those issues is something of a disagreement with Chris Smalling about whether he’s fit enough to play or not.
AS Roma Live report Dier getting his first 56 minutes of the season last night is seen as him returning and showing he’d be ready for the move. That the 29-year-old has a contract expiring in 2024 is seen as key, and a way for the Serie A club to get a good value deal.
The versatile defender playing with such energy last night sent ‘important signals’ with regards to January, and it’s caused little wave of excitement in the media around AS Roma.
