Djed Spence has given Antonio Conte the chance to unleash exciting new Tottenham partnership

All the talk was about one man when the Tottenham team to face Motherwell was confirmed just past midday on Friday afternoon. Unsurprisingly, Djed Spence was on the lips of all Spurs fans as he was handed a rare start by Antonio Conte.

Minutes have not come his way since his summer switch from Middlesbrough, with the head coach only handing him 26 in total across four appearances. Excited by his arrival anyway after such a good loan spell at Nottingham Forest, supporters have made their feelings loud and clear over the 22-year-old in recent months due to the team's right wing-back woes.

Friday's friendly match against Motherwell presented Spence with the perfect opportunity to wow Conte, and that's exactly what he did in his 75 minutes on the pitch. The summer addition looked bright throughout and saw plenty of the ball in a fast start to the game.
