Gareth Southgate names Tottenham duo named in England World Cup squad

Tottenham will have two representatives in the England squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Harry Kane will lead his country out at the winter tournament in the middle east and he will be joined by another familiar face from Hotspur Way.

Spurs teammate Eric Dier will also be on the plane to Qatar after a series of fine performances at the heart of the Tottenham defence under Antonio Conte this season.

Dier has looked a little shaky in recent weeks, but that may be as a result of the number of high-profile games he has played. he will battle it out for a starting spot in the heart of Southgate's defence with the likes of Harry Maguire, John Stones, Conor Coady and Ben White.
