Tottenham Hotspur are in the closing phases of talks with Serie A giants Inter Milan regarding the possible transfer of left‑back Djed Spence. Negotiations have quickened recently, with both clubs working toward a deal that could reach a valuation of up to £30 million. Spence is currently awaiting clearance to travel to Italy for a medical examination, a standard step before any formal agreement is signed.
The England international faces a crowded competition for playing time at Spurs this season. Alongside him, Destiny Udogie and veteran Andy Robertson are also vying for the left‑back slot, while Pedro Porro has firmly established himself as the preferred right‑back. With limited opportunities on the horizon, a move abroad appears increasingly attractive for Spence, who is eager to secure regular first‑team football. Inter Milan have identified a need for a dynamic wing‑back who can contribute both defensively and offensively, a role that fits Spence’s profile perfectly.
The Italian side have kept him high on their summer wishlist, and after an unsuccessful attempt to secure Moussa Diaby from Al Ittihad, they have turned their full attention to the Tottenham player. Inter’s scouting department believes that Spence’s pace, crossing ability, and defensive work‑rate would complement their tactical system, which often relies on width provided by wing‑backs. Meanwhile, Tottenham 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 summer, splashing cash on Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, and that other signings such as Jan Paul van Hecke (£52 million from Brighton), free‑agents Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi have further bolstered the squad. Spurs, who narrowly avoided relegation on the final day of the previous campaign, have already invested roughly £237 million in new talent.
The acquisition of Micky van de Ven on a long‑term contract has also raised hopes that the team can climb the Premier League table and challenge for higher positions. De Zerbi emphasized the ambition of the club’s ownership and board, noting that they are determined to build a stronger side capable of competing at the top of the league.
In related transfer news, Juventus are reportedly interested in securing a loan deal for either Zion Suzuki or Tottenham’s young goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Juventus are waiting for Paris Saint‑Germain to finalize Suzuki’s permanent move from Parma before deciding on a loan, while Vicario is also being approached by the Italian club.
Juventus have been actively searching for a new goalkeeper all summer, with Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez previously identified as their top target. However, Martinez’s agent Gustavo Goni confirmed that the keeper is happy at Villa and has no intention of leaving.
Inter Milan are also expected to revive their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, according to Sky Italy. This follows a recent agreement in principle between Lazio and Inter for a loan of midfielder Davide Frattesi, which includes an option‑to‑buy that could become an obligation under certain conditions.
The arrangement could free up resources for Inter to make a fresh bid for Jones, who remains a key target despite a valuation gap between Inter and Liverpool. The 25‑year‑old currently has one year left on his contract at Anfield.
Overall, the summer transfer window remains highly active for both English and Italian clubs. Tottenham’s potential sale of Spence to Inter could provide the English side with additional funds to reinforce other areas of the squad, while Inter’s interest in adding a versatile wing‑back aligns with their strategic aim to enhance width and attacking options. As negotiations continue and medicals are scheduled, fans of both clubs will be watching closely to see how these moves shape the upcoming season.
