ERIC DIER joined his Tottenham team-mates for training after signing a bumper new contract.
With Mauricio Pochettino’s men preparing for their clash with Monaco at Wembley Stadium, Dier trained after penning an improved deal that will pay him £70,000-a-week.
Spurs will play their Champions League games at the national stadium this season and next with the new and improved 61,000-seat White Hart Lane ready for the 2018-19.
With part of the current stadium not in use, and the capacity at 31,000, Spurs do not meet Uefa criteria for Champions League group games.
The club have so far sold 80,000 tickets for their Group E opener.
However, Spurs have only won once in their five trips to the new Wembley.
They won the 2008 League Cup, but have lost their four matches since.
New boy Moussa Sissoko, a £30million deadline day signing from Newcastle United, could make his first start for the club.
