Lilywhite Rose: Tottenham ace may have just landed himself extra £10,000-a-wk

John Wenham doesn’t believe Djed Spence’s new contract with Tottenham is linked to Pedro Porro’s future.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose thinks Spence’s new deal with the club is part of an “incremental increase.”

It was confirmed via Spurs’ official website on Wednesday (16 October) that the right-back has signed a new deal with the club which runs until 2028.

However, Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – believes this was a mandatory renewal, rather than a voluntary one.

“I don’t think Spence’s new contract with Tottenham is linked to Porro at all,” Wenham said.

“This is only an additional 12 months which has been added to Spence’s deal. Therefore, it is probably just an incremental increase.

“It was probably an agreement in his original contract which would see the deal automatically renew when he played a certain number of games or was at the club for a certain amount of time.

“I more saw it like that, rather than Ange Postecoglou or the club wanting to reward Spence. It is only an additional 12 months. Spurs could have extended it further if they wanted to.

“It is probably an incremental increase and an extra £10,000 per week maybe, I don’t see it being anything much more than that.”

Pedro Porro and Djed Spence to remain with Tottenham?

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Porro’s future recently (via Fabrizio Romano, 9 October). Therefore, a player in his position signing a brand-new contract was bound to raise a few eyebrows.

However, if Spence’s deal was triggered automatically as Wenham has suggested, fans don’t need to read too much into it.

While this doesn’t necessarily guarantee Porro will stay, Spence’s contract might not be linked to the Spaniard.

What does remain unclear is what Spurs plan to do with Spence. After Postecoglou’s strange recent treatment of the player, and this brand-new deal, it remains to be seen if there is a plan in place for the 24-year-old.

In other Tottenham news, a 16-year-old at the club has been hailed as the “standout star” of the Under-18 Premier League.
