“I’m really looking forward to the future. That’s what makes it so easy to want to continue here,” Dier told SpursTV.
“The fantastic manager we have, the great club, the fans, all the infrastructure we have, the new stadium being built.
“It’s really exciting and I want to grow with the club at the same pace.
“I know there is still a lot I can improve on and I am looking to do that, and I am at the perfect place for that.
“It’s a pleasure to come here every day, I enjoy coming here every day to see everyone, it’s like playing football with your mates.
Dier admitted he was excited by the prospect of stepping out onto the hallowed Wembley turf in the Champions League this season.
“Wembley being filled with 80,000 or more Tottenham fans is going to be an amazing experience,” he added during a Twitter Q & A.
