"We have a new English national team player in Djed Spence. "Wow, how good is that? He truly deserves it. It's been a great journey, just turning 25 this year, to be called up - I don't think many saw that coming. "He had a top pre-season, played well in the last three games, I'm so happy for him.""
"I hope they get good news later today for various reasons because we're trying to sign players and that we will try to do until the end of the transfer window. "I can confirm that we are working very hard to get someone over the line, that I can confirm.""
Djed Spence received his first England call-up after stepping in at left-back for Tottenham and producing strong performances that helped keep clean sheets in the opening two matches. The 25-year-old impressed following a top pre-season and recent good displays, having previously been sent on several loan spells since joining from Nottingham Forest; Genoa once held a £6million option to buy him. Destiny Udogie is due to return for the Bournemouth match, meaning Spence must maintain form to keep his place. Tottenham are close to signing Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig for a reported fee of about £51.8million, with the club working to finalise transfers before the window closes.
