Djed Spence began his career at Middlesbrough before joining Tottenham in 2022
Djed Spence hopes to inspire future generations if he becomes the first Muslim player to represent the senior England men's team.
The Tottenham full-back, who has six caps for England Under-21s, has been included in the senior squad for the first time for World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
It marks a turnaround in fortunes for the former Middlesbrough player, who was sent out on loan three times by Spurs - to Rennes, Leeds and Genoa - before establishing himself in the first team last season.
Although the Football Association does not keep a record of a player's religion, it is understood Spence could become the first Muslim man to play for the England team.
