Djed Spence handed new challenge before making Tottenham summer return from Rennes loan

Time is starting to run out on Djed Spence's Rennes loan spell and it won't be long at all until he is back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Signed from Middlesbrough last summer but playing an extremely limited role under Antonio Conte, the talented right wing-back headed to France after the club had given him the green light to depart on loan.

A huge opportunity to get some much-needed minutes under his belt and also a chance to help his development, Spence linked up with Tottenham teammate Joe Rodon on loan at Roazhon Park. Following an injury to captain Hamari Traore, the summer addition was given a free run in the Rennes team at right-back to make the position his own while his new teammate was on the sidelines.

After making his debut in their 3-1 defeat against Lille at the start of February, Spence started seven successive games in Ligue 1 and also played in both of their Europa League knockout round clashes against Shakhtar Donetsk as he was handed a regular run of action that he craved at Tottenham.
