Liverpool fans have made Eric Dier an honorary scouser after the England man’s scything tackle on Real Madrid centre half Sergio Ramos during the Three Lions 3-2 defeat of Spain in Seville on Monday night.
Other Reds supporters are urging the club to sign the Tottenham holding midfielder.
Ramos of course is still enemy No1 at Anfield after his rugged challenge on Mohamed Salah in the Champions League final last year which saw the Liverpool star leave the field after just 20 minutes.
England produced one of their best performances in recent times, securing a superb a victory over Spain in the UEFA Nations League.
The victory was extra sweet for Liverpool fans, however, thanks to the incident involving Dier and Ramos.

Only 12 minutes were on the clock when Dier flew into the La Furia Roja captain with a crunching tackle in Spain’s penalty area.
Footage shows Ramos clearly taken aback by being dished out some of his own medicine.
The only disappointment for Liverpool fans’ was Dier was harshly booked for the challenge that looked tough but fair. Even Ramos would have applauded it if he had not been the recipient.
Ramos of course received no sanction for his tackle on Salah in Kiev.
Probably even more reason Kopites on Twitter hailed the Tottenham midfielder’s actions. Below you can see some of the best tweets.
