Dier sees himself as a centre back for spurs not a midfielder

I think there may be some confusion here!

Dier is actually Eric Dier, a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Tottenham Hotspur and the England national team. He has been a regular starter for Spurs in midfield, playing in a variety of roles including defensive midfield, central midfield, and right midfield.

While Dier has played in various positions throughout his career, he is not typically considered a centre back. His primary position is in midfield, where he is known for his defensive skills, vision, and ability to control the tempo of the game.

If you're thinking of a different player who plays as a centre back for Spurs, I'd be happy to try and help you identify who it might be!
