Spence touches down in Milan as Inter's transfer saga nears its climax
Tottenham defender Djed Spence has landed in Italy, paving the way for his expected move to Inter Milan for a minimum of £25.6m (30m euros).
Spence, 26, arrived in Milan in the early hours of Friday, according to footage captured by Sky Sport Italy. He was seen telling onlookers "Forza Inter" as he stepped off the plane.
This latest development in the transfer saga suggests Spence is close to completing his move to the San Siro.
The England international has enjoyed a strong spell at Tottenham, making 85 appearances for the north London side and winning the 2025 Europa League. However, with Pedro Porro signing a new deal in June, Spence's opportunities at Spurs appear to be limited.
Spence's move to Inter would be his second spell in Italy, following a six-month loan at Genoa in 2024. He will be hoping to make a similar impact at his new club, where he will compete with Achraf Hakimi for the right-back spot.
The arrival of Spence in Milan comes as Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi attempts to convince the defender to stay at the club. De Zerbi expressed his desire to keep Spence at Spurs in July, but it appears the player has other plans.
Spence's transfer to Inter has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with the Italian club reportedly willing to meet Tottenham's minimum asking price. The move is expected to be completed in the coming days, with Spence likely to undergo a medical before finalising his transfer.
Meanwhile, Spence's departure from Spurs will see Pedro Porro take on a more prominent role at the club. The Spanish right-back has signed a new deal and will be looking to establish himself as the club's first-choice right-back.
After the match, Inter fans will be eager to see Spence in action, but for now, the transfer saga remains ongoing. The question on everyone's lips is: will Spence finally make the move to Inter, or will he remain at Spurs? Only time will tell.
