Catch a round-up of the latest Tottenham news, including updates on Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Timo Werner.
Eric Dier makes Arsenal claim
Tottenham loanee Eric Dier has aimed a cheeky dig at Arsenal after helping Bayern Munich through to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The defender made the switch to Bavaria in January, with a permanent deal set for the summer.
While it seems like a new challenge is ahead for Dier, he still had time to show his Spurs colours after beating Arsenal in the cup competition. “Yeah, it was nice. Yes, yeah it was nice. Yeah, it was nice,” the defender told Sky Sports with a smirk on his face.
“It was nice to knock them out to be honest.”
Dier, who has reached the semi-final of the Champions League for the second time in his career, will lead his team into the next round where they face Real Madrid.

Harry Kane Tottenham trophy message
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has hit back at claims suggesting Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich to win trophies. The former Spurs striker has impressed over the years, but to date, he has yet to get his hands on silverware.
The switch to Bavaria brought about a certainty of trophies, though Bayern only remain in the Champions League at this stage. With discussion surrounding the topic, Postecoglou has hit back at suggestions on Kane’s move.
He told journalist Tom Barclay: “I don’t think that’s fair. I don’t get this notion that he [Harry Kane] just moved just to win things… I just think he wanted a different experience and he’s getting that”

Timo Werner Tottenham stats
Timo Werner continues to impress at Tottenham since making his loan switch from RB Leipzig in the January transfer window. The forward has scored twice and assisted three times in the Premier League so far.
Werner could make a permanent switch in the summer, with a clause worth £15million inserted into the deal. It is unknown whether Spurs will trigger the move in the coming weeks, however the German international is making a claim towards such a decision.
According to stats from DataMB, Werner leads the way in the top seven leagues across Europe, with a higher dribble success rate (78.67%) and offensive duel win rate (69.23%) than any other winger.
