Tottenham agree Djed Spence transfer as Inter Milan close in on €30m deal

Tottenham Hotspur and Inter Milan have reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Djed Spence, with the England international now closing in on a move to Serie A.

Reports from Italy claim the two clubs have agreed a package worth €30 million plus bonuses, while negotiations over the player's contract are also nearing completion.

The transfer is now expected to progress quickly as Inter move towards securing one of their priority summer targets.

After weeks of negotiations, Tottenham and Inter have reportedly settled on the framework of a deal.

The Serie A champions will pay €30m, with additional bonuses included in the agreement, while Spence is expected to sign a contract running until 2031.

Discussions between Inter and the defender have remained positive throughout the process, with personal terms now close to being fully agreed.

Only the final details remain before the move can be completed.

Spence heads towards the exit despite enhancing his reputation during the World Cup with England.

The 26-year-old impressed on the international stage and returned to Tottenham with increased interest from across Europe.

However, reports suggest Roberto De Zerbi does not view the right-back as a central part of his long-term plans, leading Spurs to cash in while his value remains high.

The proposed fee represents a significant return for Tottenham and allows the club to reinvest elsewhere before the transfer window closes.

Inter identified Spence as their preferred replacement following the departure of Denzel Dumfries.

The Premier League defender has been one of the Italian club's leading targets throughout the summer, and the agreement with Tottenham removes the biggest obstacle to completing the transfer.

With personal terms also progressing smoothly, Inter are now expected to finalise the remaining paperwork before officially announcing the signing.

Inter Milan are expected to complete the remaining contractual details with Spence before finalising the transfer. Once the paperwork is signed, the defender will travel to Italy to complete the move and become Inter's latest summer signing.
