The summer of 2023 is a key one in Djed Spence's young career as he looks to make his mark at Tottenham Hotspur. Signed in a deal from Middlesbrough last July after a terrific campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest, the right wing-back played an extremely bit-part role under Antonio Conte and was given the green light to head to French side Rennes on loan in January.
Initially playing his part in the team before captain Hamari Traore returned from injury, Spence's loan spell ended prematurely after a knee injury saw him return to Tottenham a fortnight ago. Perhaps not the biggest of blows for the player with him missing out on the matchday squad in the previous two games and also with the season drawing to a close, the football and the season doesn't stop just there for the 22-year-old.
On Wednesday afternoon, Spence, along with Tottenham teammate Oliver Skipp, was confirmed as one of 24 England Under-21s players who will take part in a training camp at St. George's Park later next month. Lee Carsley and his staff will work with the group between June 7 and 10 ahead of this summer's UEFA Under-21s European Championships that take place in Romania and Georgia.
