Djed Spence asked what Antonio Conte has been teaching him and about that 'club signing' comment

Djed Spence says that Antonio Conte has been improving him tactically behind the scenes as the young wing-back waits patiently for his first Tottenham start.

The 22-year-old joined Spurs from Middlesbrough in the summer for a fee of £12.5million which could eventually rise to £20million with add-ons. However, he has so far only been handed a couple of minutes of action with two late substitute appearances in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest, the team he helped gain promotion on loan last season, back in August and Everton on Saturday evening.

As Spence warmed up down the touchline at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before coming on at the weekend he got a good ovation from the fans in that corner of the ground and then when he eventually was brought on to the pitch in added time he got a big cheer from the crowd on all sides.
