Dier has been a bit part player in the Spurs squad this season, but returned to the team last weekend following the injury to Micky van de Ven.
The Dutchman is likely to be out for a number of months due to hamstring injury and the England star is now expected to get more opportunities in the coming weeks.
But he is not a certain starter at Tottenham and there has been talk of him leaving Spurs in the winter window.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Dier is a player Roma have enquired about ahead of the January window.
Chris Smalling has been recovering from a knee injury and Evan Ndicka will be busy in the Africa Cup of Nations in January.
The Serie A giants are now looking to bring in a centre-back in the January transfer window.
Dier is a player Jose Mourinho managed at Tottenham and is on Roma’s list.
However, he is not the only defender of interest and players such as Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior, Chelsea’s Malang Sarr and Trevoh Chalobah are also on Roma’s radar.
