Antonio Conte has admitted that he is "seeing a lot of desire" from new Tottenham signing Djed Spence. Joining from Middlesbrough after excelling on loan at Nottingham Forest last campaign, the right wing-back has only made the matchday squad in the league once since his summer switch.
Not included in the matchday 20 in the past two games, the England Under-21s international will be hoping he is selected this weekend when the Lilywhites take on his former loan club at the City Ground. With Spurs fans desperate to see Spence in action for the very first time, Conte has issued an update on his new player ahead of the Forest game.
"I was very clear at the start when I said this signing is a really good prospect, he’s a young player. This signing, the club wanted to invest in this player," explained the Italian ahead of the Nottingham Forest encounter. "The difference is clear. To play in the Championship with Nottingham Forest and then with Tottenham, he needs time to adapt himself in many aspects, in the physical aspect and the tactical aspect because now he is working with another coach.
