Transfer windows have a way of turning quiet players into headline acts overnight. Djed Spence, Tottenham Hotspur’s right back, is having exactly that kind of summer.
Inter Milan has identified Spence as a defensive reinforcement option after missing out on other targets, adding the Serie A club to a growing list of suitors circling the 25-year-old.
The transfer picture
Spence arrived at Spurs from Middlesbrough in July 2022 for £20 million, a fee that looked bold at the time given his limited top-flight experience.
The clearest signal of Spurs’ intentions came when the club secured a contract extension keeping Spence tied to north London until 2029, a move that simultaneously demonstrates faith in the player and strengthens the club’s hand at the negotiating table.
