Eric Dier claims suggestions that Jose Mourinho has lost the Tottenham dressing room are “crazy”.
Tottenham host Everton in north London on Monday, and will be leapfrogged by the Toffees if they lose.

His relationship with record signing Tanguy Ndombele is thought to be particularly frayed, though the manager claims there is “no drama”.

“The change of manager half way through the season, followed by many, many injuries and then the coronavirus pandemic.
“There have been many obstacles to overcome and we hope that those things will bring us closer together.
“Those kind of comments are just ridiculous really.”
