Eric Dier is looking in incredible shape ahead of the new season with the Bayern Munich defender training alone following his Euro 2024 snub.

The 30-year-old linked up with the German giants on an initial loan deal from Tottenham in January, which has been turned into a permanent move.

Despite being overlooked by Ange Postecoglou in north London, he quickly won over Thomas Tuchel in Bavaria where he featured in 20 games in all competitions.

His impressive form helped the Allianz Arena outfit reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they lost to eventual champions Real Madrid.

And his displays resulted in him being tipped to return to the England squad after two years.

But Gareth Southgate decided against naming in his side, with the ex-Spurs star instead putting himself through the paces as he prepares for the upcoming campaign under new Bayern boss Vincent Kompany.

The former Sporting Lisbon defender is due back at Bayern on July 15 to begin pre-season training.

And he is set to pit his wits against Tottenham twice this summer, with Bayern to face Spurs in South Korea on August 3, before battling them in the Visit Malta Cup at his former stomping ground the following week.

While Dier has been joined by Michael Olise at Bayern following his move from Crystal Palace, he looks set to lose his centre-back partner to Manchester United.
