Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto de Zerbi has publicly stated his desire to keep defender Djed Spence at the club, amid reports linking the 25-year-old with a move away. De Zerbi emphasized his intention to convince the England international to remain part of his plans for the upcoming season.
Spence, who signed a long-term contract with Tottenham last year, has been the subject of interest from Italian Serie A side Inter Milan, according to multiple sources. However, De Zerbi's comments suggest the club is not actively seeking to sell the player.
The manager's remarks come as Tottenham prepares for the new Premier League campaign, with De Zerbi looking to build a squad capable of challenging for honors. Spence's versatility and pace have made him a key asset in the manager's tactical setup.
As of July 30, 2026, no official bid has been confirmed, and Spence remains under contract with Tottenham. The situation is expected to develop further as the transfer window progresses.
