The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham News and Links for Wednesday, July 26

good morning

Bad news for all you Eric Dier thirsters out there - our long-serving centreback is off the market!

His now-wife Anna posted a post on Instagram.

Now, we don’t know when or where this was, but we do know from Dier’s instagram that it hosted a whole host of Tottenham players past and present:

• Matt Doherty
• Japhet Tanganga
• Brandon Austin
• Ryan Sessegnon
• Jan Vertonghen
• Dele
• Ben Davies

These were the ones I recognised from Dier’s instagram, anyways. Perhaps I missed one or two.

But what I did not miss was Moussa Dembele’s comment! A simple heart-eyes emoji, but we love it. Michel Vorm also made an appearance in the comments!
