Djed Spence makes Tottenham return after £25m transfer as reunion photo emerges

Sort of. The now-Inter Milan defender has made a comeback to north London as part of England’s Nations League camp for this month’s international break, after he was called up by Thomas Tuchel to be one of the Three Lions’ two left-back options alongside Lewis Hall of Newcastle United. Spence, who starred at last summer’s World Cup in England’s run to the semi-finals in north America, starting in the 2-1 defeat by Argentina in Atlanta, Georgia. The 26-year-old made the switch to the Serie A in the transfer window following the tournament, in a £25million deal. Spurs had already signed Andy Robertson to add to their defensive numbers under Roberto De Zerbi, who oversaw a £380m summer overhaul of his first-team cohort. Reunited: Djed Spence, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Xavi SimonsDjed Spence / InstagramSpence’s game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium already looked in jeopardy with Pedro Porro the club’s vice-captain and go-to option at right-back, while versatile midfielder Archie Gray as also deputised ably in that role. At left-back, Destiny Udogie had established himself as the first-choice pick, despite his persistent injury issues. Spence’s return to Hotspur Way, his former club’s training ground, was captured on social media, with the full-back taking to his Instagram story to post a photograph posing with three former team-mates. They were two of Spurs’ injured players - Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert - and Richarlison, who has been frozen out under De Zerbi after not being registered in the club’s Premier League squad this term. The Brazilian failed to secure a departure out of the capital - unlike Spence - in the summer, and he has not featured for the club since the transfer window - and the squad registration deadline - slammed shut.
