Tottenham will be secretly pleased after Djed Spence latest

Tottenham Hotspur ultimately cashed in on Djed Spence after his value skyrocketed during the 2026 World Cup.

The 26-year-old became an unexpected hero during the summer tournament, as Thomas Tuchel's England reached the semi-finals.

He was included in the initial 26-man squad, but the full-back was never expected to play a starring role over Reece James and Tino Livramento.

Injuries meant that Tuchel was forced to rely on Spence, and what a decision that ended up being, with the former Spurs man starring for the Three Lions.

Due to his performances, his future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium became a huge talking point, with Inter Milan the ones to secure his signature.

Spurs fans were rather split on the decision. While it was £30m for a player who had a mixed time in North London, they'd sold him at his absolute best.

Djed Spence struggles continue after Tottenham exit

The Lilywhites could have very easily gone on to regret cashing, especially given the heights that Inter Milan have reached in recent seasons. They will be secretly pleased by the latest.

However, the 26-year-old has accumulated just 88 minutes of football across Serie A and Champions League so far.

He was given a start in Inter Milan's 1-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk, but after just 59 minutes, Andy Diouf replaced him on the right flank.

It was yet another night to forget for the England international, but yet more evidence that Spurs made the right decision in cashing in.

Of course, there is plenty of time for him to turn his form around, having signed a five-year contract until the summer of 2031.

Which other players could Tottenham sell?

Spence was joined by several players out of the exit doors, including Cristian Romero, Guglielmo Vicario, Manor Solomon and Pape Sarr.

Some also left on loan, such as Mikey Moore, George Abbott, Kevin Danso and Souza, and their performances have been a mixed bag so far.

Of the players who stayed in North London, Richarlison, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie could all be up for sale in upcoming transfer windows.

Football Insider understands that Pedro Porro is also considering an exit, and that would be hugely hurtful for Roberto De Zerbi's team.
