Tottenham Hotspur are getting ready to offer Eric Dier and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg new contracts in the coming weeks.

The Daily Mail report that Antonio Conte is not the only key Spurs man who is in line for discussions over a new deal.

Dier is the central sweeper in Conte’s back three and his performances have got him back in the England picture ahead of the World Cup.

Hojbjerg’s energy and bite have made him a vital part of Tottenham’s engine room and his absence was keenly felt in Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Newcastle.

Recently, Hojbjerg was described as ‘incredible’ by Heung-min Son, who said after the recent win over Eintracht Frankfurt: “Pierre has been very important for the team. He’s doing everything in the middle of the pitch.

“He wins the ball and gives the ball to the attacking players. He’s going forward and scoring goals. He’s doing everything. I have an unbelievable relationship with Pierre. He’s such a good guy, an amazing guy. To have him around is just incredible.

“I’m very happy that he’s having that improvement, I think that’s important for him and to watch him is a joy.”

Dier has put himself in contention for a starting spot at the heart of England’s World Cup back three, especially given some injuries Gareth Southgate has on his hands.

That said, he has been shaky in the last couple of matches as Spurs have wobbled and lost two Premier League games in a row.

It is a huge midweek in the Champions League for Spurs, as Dier gets set to welcome his former club to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, knowing a win would be so vital for their qualification hopes.
