Inter Milan sign England’s Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur

What the report says

Inter Milan have completed the signing of England international Djed Spence from Tottenham Hotspur, with the Serie A club announcing a five-year contract that runs until 30 June 2031. Al Jazeera, citing Reuters and British media reports, said the 26-year-old right-sided defender joined on a permanent transfer for about £30 million, or roughly $40.6 million. The move was reported on 15 August 2026.

Spence leaves Tottenham after four years in north London, where he made 85 appearances and won the Europa League. The article says his Spurs career included loan spells at Rennes, Leeds United and Genoa before he eventually became established in the first team. Inter described him as an English wing-back born in 2000.

The transfer adds another England international to Inter’s squad. The report says Spence will link up with defender John Stones, who has also moved to the club after leaving Manchester City. For Inter, the deal strengthens a squad that has recently added players from England and comes as the club continues to build around experienced international talent.

More broadly, the move reflects the continued spending power of top European clubs in the transfer market, especially for players with Premier League and international experience. The article also notes Spence was part of England’s 2026 World Cup squad, which helps explain his profile and market value.
