Inter Milan has completed a £30m transfer for Djed Spence from Tottenham, including a 10 per cent sell-on clause. The defender, who starred at the World Cup, signed after limited opportunities at Spurs due to competition from Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, Andy Robertson, Souza, and Ben Davies. Inter sought Spence after failing to sign Moussa Diaby. Spence, who joined Spurs for £20m in 2022, expressed gratitude in a farewell post. Spurs are preparing replacements, with manager comments highlighting the financial value of the sale.

The move marks a strategic shift for both clubs. Spence’s experience in Italy during a Genoa loan may aid his transition. While Spurs fans may view the fee as high, club officials see it as a necessary step. The deal underscores Inter’s focus on strengthening their right-wing-back position.

Spence’s contract at Spurs had three years remaining, with an optional extra year. His decision to leave reflects his ambition, balancing club loyalty with career growth. The sale also highlights Tottenham’s adaptability in managing squad dynamics.
