Tottenham sign defender Djed Spence from Middlesbrough While Forest were among the sides interested in the youngster, he has sealed a move to Tottenham with old team Middlesbrough making a handsome profit.

Djed Spence said the opportunity to play Premier League football with Tottenham was “a dream come true” after completing his move from Middlesbrough.

“To go from watching some of the players on TV to now playing with them… “I’m excited to hit the ground running, hopefully play and try to impress,” he said. “You’ve got some of the best players who play here, so it’s a privilege to be here and I can’t wait to get going,” he continued.

The Tottenham Hotspur boss has admitted that the club wanted to sign the Middlesbrough wing-back and he agreed to the signing.

"When I arrived in November, I said that if we wanted to try to go up in the table, we would have to go together, to improve the team together, but at the same time, the players have to go to another level. In the first season, we reduced the gap and in the second season, we won but in Italy, there was only one team to fight. To improve in all the situations that can bring us to be competitive shortly." "You know, football is always very strange, but in this moment I’m very happy to stay at Tottenham, I’m very happy to work with this group of players, to work with the club," he said. Then Manchester, Liverpool… Liverpool, Manchester. Also that competition is very difficult but we have to know that we want to continue to build and we have seven months of work. I think we are trying to create a solid foundation, then to go step by step to improve and then in the end to fight for something important." Then I have a group of players that need to have ambition together and to go another step," he stepped. "Many people said to me they were surprised by the timing, but when the vision is clear I feel confident and then I go to train and try to improve the team and the squad. "If, then, in only one year and seven months we are able to do something very special, I am the first to be very happy. When you go into the transfer market you try not to waste money, but if you decide to invest money and I think, up until now, we invested the right money," he said. "Now we want to improve and I think it was very important to sign players like Bentancur and Kulusevski in January because in January four players went on loan and then we signed two players. "We have to know for sure it’s not simple because in England in this moment there are three teams that in the previous season finished in front of us.

I just want to excite the fans and play well," he said.

The reason for this is because Spurs, like any Premier League team, need to meet a homegrown quota for player registration for the upcoming season. The ...

But, Spence already has all the raw tools he needs to continue to develop at Spurs. And under Conte, he will be provided the meticulous platform that will give him the opportunity to work out some areas of his game and become more of a complete wingback. Spence already has the skillset to become a dominant wingback in a possession-based side that likes to dictate the tempo and figure out ways through opposing teams. At 21, Spence is still young but has a bevy of experience operating in the role he will be asked to play at Spurs. With Conte overseeing Spence’s development, he will be able to simplify what is asked of the youngster to get the most out of him. I would be much more pessimistic about Spence’s ability to transition immediately had his transfer gone on and on into the latter parts of the summer window. The England national team is loaded with RB/RWB talent, so while it will be hard for Spence to break into the team, it is imperative for Spurs’ player development and for future English young talents to see a youngster like Spence be considered at the international level while playing and improving at Spurs. And while they have drifted from that approach this offseason with some of their marquee signings being older, the Spence transfer certainly fits this mold. With the Premier League moving to five substitutes this summer, it will be more important than ever for Conte to have a stable of wingback options to choose from to keep up the intensity in his system throughout each game. At Spurs, Spence will now have the profile and the resources (both at the club and in the squad) for him to take the next step in his career. After all of the incomings for Spurs so far this summer, the focus now shifts to moving fringe players in the squad out, either on loan or on a permanent basis. And because a full squad is a maximum of 25 players, that means to field one, at least eight players have to be considered “homegrown,” i.e. trained at an association club for three years before turning 21. Spence was shipped out on loan to Nottingham Forest after a very well-known falling out with Neil Warnock, who was the ‘Boro gaffer at the time.

Antonio Conte has been keen to distance himself from the transfer, making it clear that the signing is the club’s investment and not one that he demanded.
