'Complete turnaround' - Lilywhite Rose now expects exit-linked ace to remain at Tottenham

Djed Spence has enjoyed a “complete turnaround” at Tottenham over the past couple of matches.

As reported by Give Me Sport [9 December], Spence was set to be the subject of loan enquiries in January, with Nottingham Forest even being tipped as a potential destination.

However, after making his first two starts for Tottenham in the space of a week, it looks as though things might have changed for the full-back in North London.

Spence was labelled “terrific” in the 5-0 Premier League win over Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday [15 December], while Gabby Agbonlahor was impressed by the 24-year-old’s display in the controversial 4-3 Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday [19 December].

Therefore, Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – doesn’t think Spence will be going anywhere now, after previously suggesting he could join a Premier League club on loan.

“Huge credit to Spence,” Wenham said.

“He seems to have had a complete turnaround at Tottenham. Just last week I thought that he might leave on loan in January. However, he has now proven himself in a big game like the one against United, coming off to something of a hero’s reception at the end.

“It is also hugely beneficial to have a homegrown player, who is versatile, in the squad. Therefore, it doesn’t look like he will be leaving, and he is a real option now to rotate with Destiny Udogie and even stake a claim for his own position in the team.”
