Eric Dier has called on the club to do the best job they can this summer after Antonio Conte and the Tottenham squad did their part in securing a place in next season's Champions League. Following a poor start to the term which culminated in Nuno Espirito Santo's sacking at the start of November, a top-four finish looked extremely unlikely with the Lilywhites lagging behind their rivals.
Despite a good start for Conte in his first two months in the job, Spurs' inconsistent form in January and February handed them an uphill task but they managed to prevail ahead of Arsenal following a fine end to the campaign. Speaking after Sunday's 5-0 triumph away at Norwich City, Dier believes it is now in the club's hands as they look to kick on with their top-four rivals, which could potentially include Newcastle United in 2022/23 due to their wealthy owners, who are likely to splash the cash and strengthen their ranks.
"Yeah, I think the club needs to take advantage of this moment, take advantage of this team and this manager," explained the centre-back. "It's in the club's hands now. We've done our job and now it's the club's job this summer to do the best work they can. I'm sure they'll try to do the best they can to put us in a position next season for us and the manager to continue to push on and get better and better."
