Djed Spence waited two years for a start at Spurs. Now he's indispensable
Briefly

Djed Spence's journey at Tottenham has evolved dramatically, turning him from an uncertain talent into a key player. Initially doubted by manager Ange Postecoglou, Spence's perseverance and growth led to him scoring his first Premier League goal after a challenging beginning. Postecoglou recognized Spence's dedication and gave him a chance, which he capitalized on. Formerly a standout at Nottingham Forest, Spence's recent performances showcase his potential and growth, contributing positively to Tottenham's season despite overall difficulties for the team.
"Given the first two years of his time at Spurs, that dream did not seem likely to come true this season. Ange Postecoglou admits he was unconvinced by Spence earlier this season so tested him to see if he would show the right attitude."
"All I did was say: You've earned a shot at it, here it is.' He's been brilliant. The penny drops at different times for different players. He's an outstanding player. I'm super pleased we've still got him."
