Tottenham Hotspur will look to get their pursuit of a top four spot back on track when they face North London rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
Newcastle United’s 4-0 victory over the Lilywhites at St. James’ Park on Saturday gave Aston Villa a three-point lead over them in the fight to qualify for the Champions League the following season.
Next up for the Lilywhites is a huge clash against Arsenal in the North London derby, with the Gunners having also been beaten last time out, losing 2-0 to Villa on Sunday.
In the meantime, it appears that one of Tottenham’s defenders is likely to leave the club this summer.
As per Football Insider, full-back Djed Spence is expected to depart North London when the transfer
The 22-year-old, who made an impression when on loan at Nottingham Forest the previous season, came to Spurs from Championship team Middlesbrough in the summer of 2022.
He has only made six appearances for the London team in all competitions, meaning he has never really established himself as a regular for the Lilywhites.
After his stint at Elland Road was cut short, he went on loan to Leeds United in the Championship and Rennes in France. In January, he was sent to Genoa in Italy.
Spence’s injuries plagued him during his time at Leeds, resulting in just seven appearances for the Yorkshire team.
Spence has made nine appearances in all competitions since joining the Serie A team, all of which have taken place in the league.
According to the source, Tottenham intends to sell several senior players this summer in order to earn money and make room in Ange Postecoglou’s team for the right-back.
