    Speaking in a press conference on Friday, Tuchel praised the impact Dier has had at the club since his arrival. “I am very happy with him. He's exceeded all expectations," he said via Bulinews.com.

    "He's an extremely important piece of the puzzle. He's organized, he's vocal, we didn't have that much.

    “He helps the guy next to him, he's a top character and a very good player. He's being rewarded for his work at the moment.”
