Tottenham Hotspur have accelerated negotiations with Inter Milan regarding the sale of England international defender Djed Spence, with the player prioritizing a move to the Serie A champions.
The Italian side have identified the 26-year-old versatile full-back as their primary target to succeed Denzel Dumfries following his departure to Real Madrid, pushing to finalize a deal valued around €30m (£25.6m) plus add-ons.

Inter are in direct club-to-club negotiations with Tottenham, working to finalize the fee structure after Spence expressed his eagerness to join the Nerazzurri.
Despite a stellar 2026 World Cup campaign with England, Spence faces limited starting opportunities under Roberto De Zerbi following the summer arrival of Andy Robertson alongside established starters Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie.
A Return to Serie A
Having previously spent time on loan with Genoa in 2024, Spence is enthusiastic about returning to Italy's top flight to feature in Inter's Champions League campaign.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi has clarified that while he values Spence's talent, the club will sanction an exit if the player seeks guaranteed first-team minutes elsewhere.
