Cristian Stellini pinpoints what Djed Spence must improve on to impress Antonio Conte

Tottenham assistant boss Cristian Stellini believes that becoming more consistent in training is the next step for Djed Spence to catch Antonio Conte's eye.

The 22-year-old signed for Spurs from Middlesbrough last summer in a £12.5m deal that could eventually be worth £20m in add-ons. However, he has found himself with only 41 minutes of game time to his name across six appearances so far this season, without a single start to his name after Conte labelled him a "club signing" when he joined.

football.london understands Tottenham have now given the green light to Spence heading out on loan this month, although they are currently turning down loans with an option or obligation to buy the England U21 international. Brentford, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Southampton, Lyon and Bayer Leverkusen among others have all shown interest in the wing-back and Spurs are believed to have rejected a loan move with an obligation to buy from The Bees.
