Eric Dier arrived at Bayern Munich on Thursday morning to complete a medical and seal a dream move to the Bundesliga champions from Tottenham.
Bayern have agreed a deal with Spurs to sign the 29-year-old centre-back, who is out of contract in north London at the end of the season, for a fee believed to be €4million (£3.4m).
He will join former Spurs team-mate Harry Kane in Bavaria following the England captain’s £100m transfer in the summer.
Bayern agreed personal terms with Dier last week but the player continued to train at Hotspur Way while waiting for the green light from the German club, who explored a number of different options to strengthen defensively – including a late attempt to hijack Spurs’ move for Genoa centre-back Radu Dragusin.

🔴🏴 Tuchel confirms he wanted Eric Dier: “He's a specialist at centre-back”.
“We're getting him for the centre-back position, can play right or left centre-back as well as in back 3. He also used to play as #6 in Premier League some years ago”. pic.twitter.com/Kcspm4oyOX
