Djed Spence transfer and injury recovery status

Overview

English defender Djed Spence has completed a transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan to replace Denzel Dumfries, who joined Real Madrid. The transfer is valued at a total package of 35 million euros, consisting of a 31 million euro fixed fee and 4 million euros in potential bonuses. As part of the agreement, Tottenham Hotspur will receive 10% of any future resale of the player. Spence has signed a five-year contract running until June 30, 2031, with an estimated annual net salary of approximately 3 million euros.

Upon his departure, Tottenham designated Spence as ‘Legacy Number 866’ in the club’s history. Spence, who previously played for Genoa in Serie A, expressed his excitement about the move, stating, ‘I was definitely attracted by the history. It is a really great club. This is a big step for me and my family.’ Under manager Cristian Chivu, the versatile wing-back is expected to provide coverage across both flanks.

Spence’s integration has been delayed by a physical issue sustained during the World Cup. After missing much of the summer preseason, he has been undergoing a specialized individual fitness program to regain peak condition.

On October 3, 2026, Spence made his return to pitch action, playing approximately 50 minutes in a 2-0 training ground friendly victory against Serie C side Lumezzane. The match, which saw goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Richi Agbonifo, provided positive indications to the technical staff as Spence works to regain match fitness following a muscle injury.

Following his appearance in the friendly, Spence received his first squad call-up for Inter Milan’s upcoming match against Parma at San Siro. After a period of recovery and individual training at Appiano Gentile, the former Tottenham player is expected to be available for selection by manager Cristian Chivu.
