Bayern Munich are a step away from signing Tottenham defender Eric Dier.

That's according to Sky Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg, who states terms have all but been agreed.

He is reporting: "News Eric Dier: Yes, he's still on the list of FC Bayern and there is a verbal agreement in principle about a potential move now.

"Talks and ideas about a permanent deal! But understand there is no final decision yet. Bayern is exploring additional alternatives.

"However, (Thomas) Tuchel is putting pressure and aims for new signings as soon as possible. Dier was already a topic in the summer as excl. revealed. The contact has never been lost."
