Tottenham Hotspur confirmed a verbal agreement for Djed Spence to join Inter Milan in a deal worth €31.5 million (£27 million). This high-profile transfer follows Spence's desire for a new challenge in Serie A, where he previously enjoyed a successful loan spell with Genoa.

Fabrizio Romano, the renowned transfer expert, announced the deal on X, stating that both clubs have reached an agreement and Spence has finalized personal terms with the Nerazzurri. This move represents a significant financial opportunity for Tottenham, who had been anticipating Spence's departure throughout the summer.

Before Inter's decisive action, Liverpool and Manchester United had shown interest in the versatile 25-year-old defender, who is capable of playing as both a right-back and left-back. However, Spence's preference for returning to Italy ultimately influenced his decision.

Spence sought to leave North London to secure regular first-team minutes under Roberto De Zerbi, as he faced uncertainty regarding his starting role at Tottenham. The transfer not only provides him with the opportunity for more playtime but also aids Tottenham in their ongoing squad overhaul.

As Tottenham continues to be active in the transfer market, they have already signed several players, including Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson, and Marcos Senesi, while also making significant investments in players like Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. The club's summer activity is expected to continue with more signings on the horizon.
