For the second time in two seasons, Djed Spence is in talks over an improved contract at Tottenham Hotspur. According to Jack Pitt-Brooke in The Athletic (\u00a3), Spence, who signed an improved deal in October, 2024<\/a> that extends through the 2027-28 season, is in negotiations over another improved contract thanks to his good performances at fullback last season.<\/p>\n

Pedro Porro is Tottenham\u2019s best fullback and I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much of a question about that, but Spence is right up there with Destiny Udogie in second place. And weirdly, considering Djed is ostensibly a right back, he\u2019s played the best on Destiny\u2019s side of the pitch as a LB.<\/p>\n

There was once a time when Antonio Conte called him a \u201cclub signing\u201d and Djed was considered surly and very much on the fringes of Spurs\u2019 squad. That all changed once Ange Postecoglou came in \u2014 Djed was brought into the fold early on last season and he forced his way into Postecoglou\u2019s team plans. The 2024 extension was very much deserved, and this one feels deserved too.<\/p>\n

The Athletic doesn\u2019t go into any details about the new deal \u2014 whether it would add any extra years to the length of his stay. I assume it includes a healthy bump in salary as from what I can gather he\u2019s still only on \u00a340k\/wk in wages. To Johan Lange and Daniel Levy, I say: double it. He\u2019s earned it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For the second time in two seasons, Djed Spence is in talks over an improved contract at Tottenham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78478,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99,55348],"class_list":["post-78477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-tottenham-transfer-news-rumors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78477","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78477"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78477\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
