How much Tottenham could bank as Djed Spence talks open

Tottenham Hotspur could be about to make huge profit on Djed Spence following his performances at the 2026 World Cup.

Despite not being expected to be given much of an opportunity over in North America, he eventually became one of Thomas Tuchel's most important players.

His sliding challenge on Guiliano Simeone, dubbed the "tackle of the tournament" summed up his display against Argentina on Wednesday, 15 July.

While England went on to lose the semi-final, the tournament could end up being a huge turning point in the 25-year-old full-back's career.

Up until now, the strongest link with the former Nottingham Forest man was David Moyes' Everton, but that is no longer the case this summer.

Inter Milan have entered the race for his signature, with the Serie A giants needing a replacement after a £25million deal for Anan Khalaili fell through.

Djed Spence to fetch £40m after 2026 World Cup

Spence has been on quite the rollercoaster during his career so far, being outsted from Leeds United and Genoa while on loan from Spurs.

He arrived in North London on a deal reaching £20m, including add-ons and bonuses, with a lot of expectation and excitement, but the move has not fully worked out.

It wouldn't be a surprise to see the player seek a move away this summer, wanting to wipe the slate clean away from the Premier League.

That won't come at a small price for any potential suitors anymore, though, and the Lilywhites might be about to benefit from him being in the shop window at the World Cup.

Given he still has three years left on his deal, the profit could be even more than double his original fee thanks to amortisation.

Tottenham already have Spence's replacement

With Andy Robertson arriving on a free transfer, Roberto De Zerbi has more than enough experience in the left-back position.

It is evident that the Liverpool star can't play every minute of a full campaign, but the new boss already has a new and exciting option.

And it's not Destiny Udogie either. Souza, 19, only got four games since joining from Santos FC in January, but he excited a lot of supporters.

The Brazilian just needs more chances to prove himself, gain some valuable experience, and adapt to the Premier League.
