Jed Spence will accompany Tottenham in the 2024-2025 season. England's 『Putbull London" reported on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) 'Enze Postecoglou confirmed that Spence will join the Tottenham squad this season and give him a good choice'
The world has changed. Spence nestled at Tottenham in July 2022 under Antonio Conte. The transfer fee was 20 million pounds (about 35 billion won) including options.
Expectations were high. However, Conte said it was not the recruitment he wanted, and in fact classified Spence as out of power. His playing time was only 41 minutes after being replaced by six games.
Spence was loaned to Stade Rennes in French Ligue 1 in January last year. Coach Postecoglou took the helm last season, but his fate has not changed.
Spence again left for Leeds United in the Championship (Second Division). But there was no reversal. He played only seven games, and returned to Tottenham after his loan ended early in January this year.
He was immediately loaned back to Genoa. There was a twist. He played in 16 Serie A matches in Italy, with Genoa in 11th place. The team achieved the best performance among the teams promoted from the top five European leagues.
Genoah wanted Spence to be fully enlisted. However, negotiations over the transfer fee continued for a month, but it broke down. Tottenham set 8.5 million pounds (about 15 billion won) as the lower limit, but Genoa reportedly demanded a lower transfer fee.

Coach Postecoglou said at the time that `Spence played well. He's had a rough few years. He's training with us, and I think all the players are with us right now"When players are with us, unless something changes suddenly, I treat them as the same Tottenham player. He did a good job. He scored a goal well, contributed to the play, and gave assists."
Spence started in both consecutive games against Bayern Munich (Germany), which was the final stop of the pre-season. Of course, it's not a starting resource when the season starts. However, they can stand in both right and left fullbacks. be good as a backup.
Tottenham will play Leicester City in the opening round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at 4 a.m. on the 20th. Prior to the match against Leicester City, Postecoglou said "There is a reason why players go on loan. He was also open to Spence. I'm sure his characteristics will suit our football," he stressed.
And "Spence had a good pre-season. He trained really well, he seems to have adapted really well to the group"I don't think the left fullback is his natural position. I think he's more of a right fullback. But the fact that he can also play on the left gives us a better option this season when we will have more challenges in European football."
