Spence has played 85 times for Tottenham in total, including a late cameo in their victorious Europa League final in 2025. He has also earned 14 England caps, featuring in all eight of their matches at this summer’s World Cup. Spence helped Spurs win the Europa League in 2025 Credit: Getty Comment now
