Tottenham Hotspur have announced that Djed Spence has signed a contract extension, keeping the full-back at the club until the summer of 2028.

After a strong start to the season, Djed Spence has earned the trust of manager Ange Postecoglou, securing a place in his long-term plans. This contract renewal underscores Tottenham’s belief in his potential.

Spurs officially announced the new deal on their website with the following statement:

“We are delighted to announce that Djed Spence has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2028.”

Spence first joined Spurs in July 2022 for a reported £20 million, after a successful loan spell at Nottingham Forest, where he was instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League.

His standout performances that season earned him a spot in both the EFL Championship Team of the Season and the PFA Championship Team of the Season, highlighting his growing reputation as a top young talent.

Antonio Conte at the time of signing him insisted that he was not his preferred signing and rather, the club’s signing.

Upon arriving at Tottenham, Spence made his debut in a Premier League match against his former side, Nottingham Forest. However, his first season with the club saw limited opportunities, and he spent time on loan at Rennes and Genoa to gain more experience.

During his loan stint in Serie A, Spence showcased his versatility, making 16 appearances for Genoa, where he played on both flanks in defence and midfield.

Djed Spence’s turnaround at Tottenham

This season, Spence has re-established himself in the Tottenham squad. He had an outstanding pre-season which convinced Ange to keep him at the club rather than loaning him out.

He made his first appearance in the 2024–25 season in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City and scored his first competitive goal for Spurs in a 2-1 EFL Cup win over Coventry City, demonstrating his growing confidence and value to the team.

With his new contract, Tottenham have shown their belief in Spence’s potential to become a key player for the club. His versatility, solid defensive skills, and attacking contributions make him a crucial part of Postecoglou’s squad as they push for success across multiple competitions.

Spurs fans will be excited to watch Spence’s continued growth under Postecoglou’s management, with high hopes for his future at the club.
