Tottenham star Eric Dier gets engaged to Alexis Sanchez’s ex Anna just months after going public with the model

TOTTENHAM and England defender Eric Dier has revealed he is engaged to model partner Anna Modler.

The Spurs centre-back only went public with the 24-year-old back in September.

But he has already popped the question to the South African beauty - who previously dated ex-Arsenal and Manchester United star Alexis Sanchez.

And Anna announced the news on with a couple of pictures cuddling Dier, 28, while wearing her engagement ring.

She then added the simple caption: "I said ja."

A friend of the pair previously told The Sun: "Eric and Anna are blissfully happy. They have been seeing a lot of each other.

“Eric has told pals it has been a great few weeks – getting back into the England squad and landing a stunning girl who was previously on the arm of an Arsenal star.

"He can't stop scoring on the pitch, and has netted a cracker off of it.

"Anna is smitten and has told friends Eric could be ‘the one’. They are getting serious, so watch this space."

Just two months later, they are now engaged as Dier's return to the England set-up coincides with his flourishing love life off the pitch.

He is hoping to clinch a place in Gareth Southgate's final 26-man squad for the World Cup - which is expected to be announced on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Dier coincidentally helped knock his new fiancee's ex-boyfriend Sanchez out of the Champions League earlier this week.

In a match Sanchez's side Marseille had to win to qualify for the last 16, Tottenham came from a goal down to win 2-1 in France and top their group.

Defeat for Marseille saw them finish bottom of Group D, with Sanchez's side also unable to secure a place in the play-off round of the Europa League.
