Tottenham defender on verge of signing new contract

3 weeks ago 33

A Tottenham full-back, who has had ups and downs in his three years at the North London club, is set to be rewarded with a second new contract in a space of twelve months.

While there has been a lot of speculation on potential attackers arriving at Spurs over recent weeks, the Lilywhites are also reportedly looking to strengthen at the back.

It has been rumoured that Tottenham want to add another left-back to their squad, which makes sense considering the injury-prone Destiny Udogie and the experienced Ben Davies are his main options in the position.

One man who shone at left-back last season under Ange Postecoglou is Djed Spence, and he is now set to be rewarded with a new deal for his impressive displays.

Djed Spence set to sign new long-term Spurs deal

Spence signed a new four-year contract at Tottenham last October, with the former Middlesbrough man now set to sign another extension.

This information was first provided by The Beautiful Game podcast, who revealed that the full-back is in advanced talks over a new long-term deal that runs until 2029, with an option of a further one-year extension.

This information has also been confirmed by The Athletic, who report that Spurs are now close to finalising a new deal for the 25-year-old.

Negotiations have moved fast over the last month, with Tottenham keen to reward Spence for his strong showing in the second half of last season.

Could this be a transfer hint by Tottenham?

While Spence is expected to compete with Pedro Porro for the right-back spot, he showed last season that he is just as good at left-back, or arguably even better.

The speculation regarding Tottenham signing a left-back has died down over recent weeks, and we have seen Thomas Frank give major praise to Ben Davies.

That, allied with Spurs handing a new contract for Spence, may be a sign that signing a full-back is no longer considered a priority by the Dane.
