"The Londoner was on a positive path in the summer of 2022. Formerly a Fulham academy player, Spence had spent the previous season on loan with Nottingham Forest from Middlesbrough and parlayed a hugely impressive campaign into a dream move to Spurs. That transfer didn't quite go to plan. Manager Antonio Conte dismissed Spence as a club signing' but did give him a handful of appearances."
"The England Under-21 international bounced back with Spurs, winning the Europa League under Ange Postecoglou and playing the entirety of Spurs' first three Premier League fixtures this season. Spurs won Thomas Frank's first two matches against Burnley and Manchester City without conceding a goal and Spence was deployed on the left in both."
"Speaking to the press after his call-up, the defender addressed his troubled journey since leaving Middlesbrough. The biggest hurdle is when I signed for Tottenham and I didn't necessarily feel the love straight away, said Spence."
Djed Spence received his first senior England call-up for World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia after re-establishing himself at Tottenham Hotspur. The full-back moved to Spurs following a standout loan season at Nottingham Forest but faced limited opportunities and multiple subsequent loans to Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, totaling 31 league appearances. Spence regained form with Spurs, featured in the opening Premier League fixtures, and was part of the Europa League-winning squad under Ange Postecoglou. England selection came despite earlier doubts, and Spence said he initially did not feel the club's support when he signed.
