What happened
Inter Milan have opened negotiations with Tottenham Hotspur regarding a permanent move for Djed Spence. The 24-year-old right-back, capped by England, has attracted interest after strong loan stints, including at Genoa. Spurs are open to selling, with Inter exploring both loan and purchase options. Spence joined Tottenham from Middlesbrough in 2022 but has struggled for game time at the north London club.
Chance analysis
Spence's potential exit from Tottenham is a non-event for Spurs' first-team plans, as he has been firmly out of the picture. However, for Inter, adding an athletic, attack-minded right-back with Premier League experience would provide depth and competition in a key area. The transfer reflects Inter's continued strategy of targeting Premier League fringe players with upside at reduced fees. His England cap adds profile value even if his recent club minutes have been limited.
Spence likely leaves Tottenham permanently, providing modest defensive reinforcement for Inter Milan's squad depth without altering their core lineup.
If confirmed, Spence to Inter marginally upgrades Inter's right-back depth but doesn't change their starting XI outlook; Tottenham are unaffected as he is not in their plans.
