Tottenham Hotspur are in the concluding phase of talks with Serie A side Inter Milan regarding the possible transfer of England full‑back Djed Spence. Negotiations have picked up speed as both clubs work toward a deal that could reach a valuation of roughly £30 million. Spence is currently awaiting clearance to travel to Italy for a medical examination, a standard prerequisite before any formal agreement can be signed. The England international has found his chances at Tottenham increasingly limited this season.
The left‑back position is contested by Destiny Udogie and Andy Robertson, while the right side is firmly occupied by the ever‑reliable Pedro Porro, who has been the first‑choice wing‑back throughout the campaign. With his playing time under threat, Spence represents an attractive option for Inter, who are actively seeking a versatile wing‑back capable of contributing both defensively and offensively.
Inter Milan have kept Spence high on their scouting list throughout the summer window. After a protracted effort to secure Al Ittihad winger Moussa Diaby fell through, the Italian club redirected its focus to the Tottenham defender. The club’s sporting director has repeatedly emphasized the need for a player who can operate effectively as a wing‑back in Roberto De Zerbi’s preferred system, which relies on width, rapid transitions, and high‑intensity pressing. Spence’s pace, technical ability, and experience in the Premier League make him a fitting candidate for that role.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s manager Roberto De Zerbi has stressed that the club’s activity in the transfer market is far from over. Speaking to the Men in Blazers Network, De Zerbi said, "We have not finished yet with the players who will arrive. We are looking forward to starting another season with different ambitions and, hopefully, different results." He added that the club has already broken its transfer record twice this season, first with the acquisition of Mateus Fernandes and later with the signing of Sandro Tonali. Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke arrived from Brighton for a reported £52 million, while experienced campaigners Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi joined on free transfers.
Spurs have also secured the long‑term commitment of centre‑back Micky van de Ven, a move that signals the club’s intent to build a squad capable of challenging for higher league positions. After narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day of the previous season, Tottenham have already invested around £237 million in new talent. De Zerbi believes this spending is essential to compete in the Premier League, stating, "To compete at this level you need players of the highest calibre. The ambition of the owner, the board and everyone behind the scenes is very high, so we must assemble a stronger team than in recent years to fight for the top of the table." In other transfer news, Juventus are reportedly interested in securing a loan deal for either Japan’s promising goalkeeper Zion Suzuki or Tottenham’s backup keeper Guglielmo Vicario.
According to Sky Italy, Juventus will wait for Paris Saint‑Germain to finalize Suzuki’s permanent move from Parma before evaluating the feasibility of a loan. Their secondary target, Vicario, has already been approached by the Turin club to gauge Spurs’ willingness to let him go on a temporary basis.
Juventus have been active in the goalkeeper market all summer, with Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez identified as their primary target. However, Martinez’s agent Gustavo Goni told Sky Sports News that the Argentine keeper is happy at Villa and has no intention of leaving. Back in Italy, Inter Milan are also expected to renew their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.
Sky Italy reports that after Lazio reached a loan‑with‑option‑to‑buy agreement for Inter’s midfielder Davide Frattesi, the door is open for Inter to make a fresh bid for Jones. The 25‑year‑old Liverpool player, who has just one year remaining on his contract at Anfield, has been a top target for the Nerazzurri. The two clubs have struggled to agree on a valuation, but Inter’s interest remains strong, and they are likely to increase their offer as the transfer window approaches its deadline. Overall, the summer transfer window remains dynamic, with Inter Milan actively reshaping their squad by adding both defensive and midfield reinforcements, while Tottenham look to reinforce their ranks and push beyond the survival battle of last season.
The potential departure of Djed Spence to Italy could provide Inter with the wing‑back they have been seeking, and give the England international a fresh start where he can feature more regularly. Meanwhile, Juventus continue to explore options in goal, and both Italian giants are poised to make further moves before the window closes.
