Eric Dier happy to fill in at centre-back for England this summer

Eric Dier claims that he is happy to drop into defence if it means nailing down a place in England's Euro 2016 squad.

England midfielder Eric Dier has admitted that he is excited to play his part at this summer's European Championship, even if it means filling in at centre-back.

The Tottenham Hotspur ace has impressed in the Premier League this season in his holding role, but a lack of options in the heart of the Three Lions' defence could see him alter his position.

Should Roy Hodgson take just three recognised central-defensive options to France - Chris Smalling, John Stones and Gary Cahill - then Dier will be the likely candidate to fill in, capping a memorable individual campaign for the 22-year-old.

"I'm happy to play anywhere. I don't see that as a problem," he told reporters. "It has been a crazy 12 months for me. I am really enjoying every minute of it. Hopefully I can repay the manager's faith."

England face Australia at the Stadium of Light on Friday evening in their second Euro 2016 warm-up match.
