Headline: Djed Spence Arrives in Italy Ahead of Transfer to Inter Milan for £25.6 Million
Tottenham defender Djed Spence has arrived in Italy, signaling an imminent transfer to Inter Milan for a fee starting at £25.6 million (30 million euros). Upon his arrival in Milan early Friday, he greeted onlookers with a cheerful “Forza Inter,” as captured by Sky Sport Italy.
Spence had an impressive World Cup with the England national team and played 32 matches for Spurs during the 2025-26 season. However, changes within the club, including the renewal of first-choice right-back Pedro Porro and the signing of left-back Andy Robertson from Liverpool, have pushed him towards this move.
Tottenham’s manager Roberto de Zerbi expressed in July his intention to persuade Spence to remain with the team. The 26-year-old initially joined Spurs from Middlesbrough for an upfront payment of £12.5 million in 2022, featuring in 85 games and celebrating a Europa League victory in 2025.
This transfer marks Spence’s return to Italy, following a previous six-month loan spell at Genoa in 2024.
