The statement
Djed Spence is an Inter player. The English wide man, born in 2000, joins Inter from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent deal and has signed a contract until 30 June 2031.An imposing wide player with technical quality and strong one-on-one ability, Spence combines impressive pace and acceleration with a proactive, dynamic style. He looks to make an impact in attack by taking on opponents decisively, and he can also produce remarkable recoveries and defensive interventions, as he showed at the World Cup against Argentina with his prodigious recovery on Giuliano Simeone. Calm and composure define his character, traits he inherited from his family and has also shown on the pitch. He knows when to wait for the right moment to take on an opponent and when to pick the best instant to intercept when under attack. That balance of power and control, instinct and clarity, makes Djed Spence a wide player capable of leaving his mark in both phases of the game. After a journey that began on the pitches of Peckham and reached the biggest international stages, his story now continues with Inter. Djed Spence is an Inter player.
