Eric Dier says there’s a European side that reminds him of Sporting | OneFootball

Eric Dier has been announced as a new addition to Monaco in this transfer window. The former Sporting player did not renew his contract with Bayern Munich and has now moved to Ligue 1. The English international compared his current club to the green and white emblem and says there are many similarities.

The player recently gave an interview to The Telegraph, where he analyzed his arrival at the French championship team, and his first steps at the new club. He admitted he is happy with the change, and did not forget Sporting, where he took his first steps in football.

"It reminds me a lot of that team. Everyone around the same age, all together", began Eric Dier, establishing the comparison between Monaco and Sporting, two teams that habitually invest heavily in their player training academies.

The former element of the green and white ranks continued with his analysis, leaving some compliments to the team he now represents, without forgetting the young people he now interacts with daily: "I have never seen so much young talent together in one place. It's true. That's why it's good to be around this youth".

Remember that Eric Dier represented the lions for 11 years, between 2003 and 2014, having trained at the Alcochete Academy. At the senior level, he played 31 games for the main lion team, in the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons, in which he scored one goal and two assists.
