Spurs midfielder Eric Dier believes clubs shouldn't be allowed to make transfers after the first game of the season.

Dier says it creates doubt for players and he would prefer for squads to be finalised prior to the start of the campaign.

"It is unfair on all the managers and players," Dier explained. "I suppose it is good entertainment and I enjoy watching it.

“There are still people that could be in the dressing room who don’t really know what their futures are.

"Once the season starts I’d like to be at a club where everyone is pushing in the same direction and knows where they stand. I don’t think it helps.”
