What happened
Inter Milan have confirmed the permanent signing of Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal worth €35 million including add-ons. The transfer has been finalized, with Spence becoming Inter's new right-sided defensive reinforcement. This marks another English-Premier-League-to-Serie-A move, as Inter continue to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Chance analysis
Spence joins an Inter side that has been actively reshaping its defensive options. At €35m, the fee is significant for a player who had limited impact at Tottenham, suggesting Inter see clear developmental upside or a specific tactical fit. This acquisition may affect Inter's depth and rotation in wide defensive areas, while Tottenham recoup funds and free a wage slot for further business.
