Tottenham full-back has opened the doors to a move to Inter Milan. Speculation surrounding Djed Spence’s future at Tottenham Hotspur only continues to grow. The Spurs full-back was among England’s standout performers at the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite garnering detractors over his inclusion in Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man squad. He silenced the doubters with a series of strong displays during the Three Lions’ third-placed finish at the World Cup. But, regardless of his rise in stock in the game’s biggest event, the 26-year-old’s future at White Hart Lane is unclear. Djed Spence is understood to be open to a move away from Spurs this summer. Inter Milan are continuing their pursuit of Spence, after first making official contact with his representatives in July. The Italian champions have identified the Tottenham star as a replacement for Denzel Dumfries and have stepped up their efforts to sign him. Inter Milan plan to send official bid for Djed Spence According to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano, Inter Milan will table their official bid for Spence this week. The player has opened doors to a move to the Nerazzurri, but the decision will be up to Tottenham. The full-back has been in demand throughout this transfer window, but Inter Milan appear to be the frontrunners for his signature. The Nerazzurri’s plans to send an official bid show that they have sorted out the personal terms agreement internally. The Serie A giants were initially scared off by Tottenham’s €40m asking price, but they have been forced into the market ever since the England international’s name was presented to them again during their discussions over Cristian Romero. While Romero has set his heart on a move to Atletico Madrid despite Spurs and Inter Milan reaching an agreement, negotiations over Spence have progressed rapidly in recent times. Spence is a versatile full-back/wing-back who can play on opposite flanks, and he will be tailor-made for Cristian Chivu’s 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 system at Inter. He has the mix of technical and physical attributes to replace Dumfries, who joined Real Madrid earlier in the transfer window. The Englishman’s previous stint in Serie A should also help him quickly adapt to the league’s demands. The defender, who signed a new four-year contract in north London in 2025, deputised for Destiny Udogie and played as a second-fiddle to first-choice right-back Pedro Porro in the last two seasons. Now, he has fallen further down the pecking order at Spurs after the arrival of Andy Robertson from Liverpool. This has prompted Spence to look out for greener pastures, and he wants to join Inter, provided they can agree a fee with the Lilywhites.
