Tottenham boss Antonio Conte never wanted to sign former Nottingham Forest loanee Djed Spence, according to a former Spurs player.
The attack-minded right-back was sensational for the Reds last season during his loan spell from Middlesbrough. His form attracted attention from some of the Premier League’s big-hitters, with Spurs edging out Forest in the race to sign him permanently last summer.
However, the move hasn’t worked out, with the 22-year-old making just five appearances off the bench prior to being loaned out to French side Rennes, where he is earning rave reviews for his performances in Ligue 1.
