Tottenham Hotspur might be ready to let defender Djed Spence go this summer, even after his standout World Cup performances for England. The club is reportedly considering offers as part of a squad overhaul and to recoup some of their significant transfer spending.
Despite the unexpected nature of this potential move, given Spence's versatility and recent international form, Spurs could be looking to trim the squad. With no European football next season, opportunities for squad players might be limited, and a move to Italy, potentially with Inter Milan, could offer Spence a clearer path to regular game time and Champions League action.
According to talkSPORT, Inter Milan has already initiated discussions regarding a potential transfer. Spence is reportedly open to the idea of joining the Serie A club. The defender impressed during England's World Cup campaign, featuring in all seven matches and receiving particular praise for his semi-final performance against Argentina.
Last season, Spence made 30 Premier League appearances, demonstrating his reliability and ability to cover both right-back and left-back positions. This potential sale is part of a broader strategy by Tottenham, who have spent over £200 million on new signings and are looking to strengthen further, according to The Times.
While Tottenham is in a strong negotiating position due to Spence's long-term contract signed until August 2025, allowing them to command a significant fee, they should consider the implications of his departure. His pace, homegrown status, and defensive flexibility are valuable assets. However, if Inter Milan presents a compelling offer that includes Champions League football and a guaranteed starting role, the transfer could make strategic sense for all parties involved, provided Spurs secure a substantial fee.
