Eric Dier Eyes England Recall Ahead Of EURO 2024
Eric Dier believes he has done enough to earn a recall to the England national team.
The 30-year-old left Tottenham Hotspurs after almost 10 years for Bayern Munich in the January transfer window and has made 10 appearances so far for the Bavarians.
Dier has won 49 caps for England but has not featured for the Three Lions since the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Dier returns to North London on Tuesday with Bayern Munich for their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Arsenal.
"Obviously, I want to be a part of the England set-up and I believe that I should be a part of it, that I'm that level of a player," Dier told Sky Bet's The Overlap podcast.
"I haven't spoken at all to Gareth Southgate, but you try and play as well as possible for your club and then the decision is out of your hands."
"Since the World Cup, I wouldn't say that I've had any dip in form, I'm playing the best football of my career since (Antonio) Conte came (to Tottenham) and I've carried it on since.
"I've been here (at Bayern Munich), and I think I've shown that. People think that I'm 37 or something, but I'm 30 years old and am nowhere near the end of my prime and imagine that this will be my prime.
"When I look around the players I've played with in my career, like (Mousa) Dembele, (Jan) Vertonghen, (Toby) Alderweireld, (Hugo) Lloris - all these guys, they were 31, 32 and were playing their best football at Tottenham."
Dier also featured for England at EURO 2016 and the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
