Tottenham Hotspur fullback Djed Spence has enjoyed one of the best stories of the 2026 World Cup. Even though he does not start every game for Thomas Tuchel, he has thrived in this bench role as something of a closer on defense, coming in for the manager late in matches to help the Three Lions survive some pretty stiff challenges.
First, Spence impressed against Mexico in a narrow 3-2 victory with El Tri charging onward for that equalizer, putting his body on the line to clear it every chance he got whlie marking in the box better than what anyone on Tottenham did in the Premier League this season.
Then, Spence had another belter off the bench as England defeated Norway and Erling Haaland 2-1, nearly scoring himself with a couple of inspired forays into the attacking third to go with his usual determined defending.
Djed Spence has earned a choice over his future now
From questionable Thomas Tuchel decision to understated English hero, Djed Spence has caught the attention of Everton for a possible transfer this summer, but now the Toffees are not the only team Tottenham Hotspur have to worry about.
Out of nowhere, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Serie A champions Inter Milan are interested in Spence. They are still deciding on their favorite option and analyzing the candidates based on cost and fit, but Spence is on the radar.
Who would have thought even just a month or two ago that Spence would be on the radar of the best club in Italy right now as a possible replacement for new Real Madrid signing Denzel Dumfries? Everton makes sense, but Spence is really gaining a big profile with Inter now after his signature - or, at the very least, considering him as an option.
For Tottenham, Spence's interest from Inter changes everything. Spence is fully COYS, but turning down the Serie A champions who were in two of the last four Champions League Finals is not easy to do. Inter are not more rife with cash than Spurs, but they do well for themselves and actually have more of an opening for a starting spot, in a way, after selling Dumfries; Spence would love to be a right wing back.
Tottenham do not have a backup right back, but Spence mostly plays on the left anyway, though after the Andy Robertson signing, many Spurs fans have wondered if his future could lie elsewhere. He has greatly impressed them, too, with his World Cup displays, but, now, the future is in Spence's hands. He has indeed earned that right.
