Tottenham Hotspur is contemplating a surprising transfer of Djed Spence following his standout performances during the World Cup. The club, under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi, is undergoing a significant rebuild and is prepared to part ways with several senior players to recover from their substantial transfer expenditure.

Despite Spence's versatility and impressive international form, the lack of European football next season limits Tottenham's ability to provide ample playing time for squad members. A potential move to Italy, specifically to Inter Milan, could offer Spence a clearer role and an opportunity to return to the Champions League.

According to talkSPORT, Tottenham is open to selling Spence, who has garnered interest from Inter Milan. The full-back is reportedly receptive to the idea of joining the Serie A champions.

Key highlights include:

• Spence played in all seven of England’s World Cup matches, earning accolades for his performance against Argentina in the semi-final.
• He also made 30 appearances in the Premier League last season, showcasing his reliability in defense.

As part of a broader squad overhaul, Tottenham may let multiple senior players go after spending over £200m on new signings. However, Spence's recent long-term contract extension until August 2025 gives Spurs leverage to demand a fair fee, rather than accept a low offer.

While selling Spence could be beneficial if it leads to a regular starting position and Champions League football for him, Spurs must ensure they receive a strong financial return. Finding a replacement for a defender of Spence's caliber may prove challenging and costly.
