Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence faces an increasingly uncertain future as manager Roberto De Zerbi continues to reshape the squad ahead of his first full season.
Despite a gritty conclusion to the 2025/26 campaign, in which he helped secure Premier League safety, Spence is not part of De Zerbi’s long-term plans.
The Spurs hierarchy will actively listen to offers for the 25-year-old, who has three years left on his current contract.
Spurs’ willingness to facilitate a permanent exit has sparked immediate interest, with several clubs keen on a move.
Everton are reportedly at the front of the queue as they seek a long-term successor to Seamus Coleman. While he is primarily a right-back, Spence can fill in at left-back when needed.
Leaving Spurs represents a prime opportunity for Spence to reset a career path that has stalled through various loan moves.
The ‘unstoppable‘ defender is currently on international duty with England and was handed a start in their second World Cup outing against Ghana.
With De Zerbi eyeing a major summer overhaul, Spence’s window to fight for his position appears to have closed, and a move away looks increasingly likely.
Spurs will hope Spence increases his value at the World Cup, which would put them in a strong position to recoup a sizeable fee.
Tottenham paid £12.5 million to sign him in 2022, but could hold out for almost double that amount to sanction a sale.
