Official: Djed Spence Is a New Inter Milan Player
It is official. Djed Spence is a new Inter Milan player. The English full-back leaves Tottenham to begin a new chapter in Serie A, where he will face the difficult task of filling the void left by Denzel Dumfries following his move to Real Madrid.
Inter confirmed the signing of the 26-year-old, who has signed a contract through 2031. The deal is worth around €35 million, including add-ons.
Spence already knows Italian soccer. In 2024, he spent six months on loan at Genoa, an experience that could significantly help his adaptation to a league that demands so much tactically.
The World Cup Changed Spence’s Situation
His performances with England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup ultimately put him firmly in the international spotlight.
Spence featured in all eight of England’s matches during the tournament, starting four of them, and was part of the team that finished in third place. His ability to cover the entire flank and perform different defensive roles caught Inter’s attention.
He now joins the Italian champions to fill an important position in the squad.
Spence also said goodbye to Tottenham on social media, thanking the club, his teammates, staff and supporters. Among the biggest moments of his time with Spurs was winning the Europa League in Bilbao.
What Can Spence Bring to Inter?
This is where the signing becomes particularly interesting.
Dumfries provided power, width and an impressive ability to make runs into the penalty area from the right flank. Replacing everything the Dutchman brought to the team will not be easy, but Spence has qualities that could help Inter maintain that same aggression out wide.
The Englishman is a very physical full-back, quick when attacking open spaces and dangerous when given room to carry the ball forward. He is also capable of playing on either flank and can practically operate as a winger when his team has possession.
His pace could also become an important weapon in transition. Spence can quickly recover ground when his team loses the ball, while offensively he has the tools to attack the space behind opposing defenders.
Replacing Dumfries immediately will not be easy, particularly because of the Dutchman’s ability to get into the box and contribute goals.
But Spence offers something Inter needed after his departure: energy, speed, range and versatility.
He also arrives with Premier League experience, already knows Serie A and is coming off an impressive 2026 FIFA World Cup with England.
After several years in which he had to fight for consistency at Tottenham, Djed Spence now receives a huge opportunity.
The World Cup ultimately put him back in the spotlight, and Inter Milan have decided to bet on him as the new man on their right flank.
