We saw it in Norway’s match against England in the World Cup quarter-finals. Djed Spence showed an acceleration and speed on the left wing like few others on the pitch (also came fresh and fast from the bench), and was the energy boost that helped England manage to win in extra time. At Tottenham, on the other hand, there has been no success to speak of.
When Spence was signed in 2022, he was greeted by then-Tottenham manager Antonio Contes: “This is the club’s investment”. In other words, a clear message that he was not wanted by the coach. The 25-year-old works equally well on both wings, but in a Spurs shirt, Spence helped let opponents down with goals for Tottenham’s 17th place last season, while attacking contributions from the full-back were literally nil in his 30 Premier League appearances (zero goals, zero assists).

This does not scare Inter Milan. The reigning Serie A champions have lost wing-back Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid, came close to signing Anan Khalaili, but ended up failing the medical test due to heart problems.
According to the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, the Italians are in talks to persuade Tottenham to sell, Spence himself is said to have told the Spurs management that he wants to leave.
