England Star Djed Spence Leaves Tottenham

England's Djed Spence joins Inter Milan after a standout World Cup performance, ending his Tottenham stint.

England Star Djed Spence Leaves Tottenham

England's Djed Spence has completed a permanent move to Inter Milan, leaving Tottenham behind. The 26-year-old full-back, who can play on both sides of defence, has signed a five-year contract with Inter and links up with international team-mate John Stones at San Siro.

Spence featured in all eight of England's games at the World Cup, helping Thomas Tuchel's side finish third. His standout performances came off the back of a difficult campaign at Tottenham, who he joined from Middlesbrough in 2022 for an initial £12.5m.

Why It Matters for England

Spence's departure comes after first-choice right-back Pedro Porro signed a new deal in June, while left-back Andy Robertson has arrived from Liverpool. The 26-year-old's exit leaves a gap in Tottenham's defence, but his performances for England will be remembered for years to come.

Spence has joined Cristian Romero in leaving Spurs on Saturday. The centre-back, who was club captain, joined Atletico Madrid for £34m. De Zerbi is yet to name his replacement ahead of Tottenham's first game of the season next Saturday.
