  • English full-back Djed Spence has officially joined Inter Milan from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent deal until 2031.
  • Inter reportedly paid around 30 million euros for Spence, who previously had a loan spell at Genoa in Serie A.
  • Spence cited intense competition at Tottenham and a desire for a new challenge as reasons for his move, despite a strong performance with the England national team.

Inter Milan has secured the signing of English full-back Djed Spence, acquiring him from Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent transfer. The 26-year-old defender has committed his future to the Italian club by signing a contract that runs until 2031.

Inter's capture of Spence is reported to have cost approximately 30 million euros (around $619.9 billion IDR). This move marks Spence's second stint in Serie A, having previously spent six months on loan at Genoa in 2024. He joins John Stones as another English acquisition for Inter this summer, though Stones arrived on a free transfer.

A special chapter has ended. It was an incredible journey, with many memories, moments, and experiences that I will always carry with me, especially that night in Bilbao.

Spence expressed his gratitude to Tottenham supporters via social media, reflecting on his time with the club. "A special chapter has ended. It was an incredible journey, with many memories, moments, and experiences that I will always carry with me, especially that night in Bilbao," he stated. He thanked the staff, his teammates, and the fans, emphasizing that Spurs will always hold a place in his heart as he embarks on a new phase of his career.

The decision to leave Tottenham stems from fierce competition for the full-back position. The contract extension of Pedro Porro and the arrival of Andy Robertson from Liverpool intensified the competition. Despite a strong showing in eight matches for England at the 2026 World Cup, where they secured third place, Spence sought new opportunities. Tottenham's management reportedly attempted to retain him, but Inter Milan's offer ultimately persuaded the player to pursue his career in Italy.

Thank you to all the staff who have helped me during this time, the players who have become family, and most importantly thank you to the fans. It's time for a new chapter now, but Spurs will always have a place in my heart.
