Inter Milan in talks for Tottenham full-back Djed Spence
Inter Milan are in advanced talks to sign Tottenham and England full-back Djed Spence, in a deal worth a minimum of £25.6m (30m euros).
The 26-year-old has emerged as a key target for the Serie A champions, having enhanced his reputation at the World Cup, at which he made eight appearances.
Despite coming under criticism early in the tournament, Spence ended up starting and impressing in England's World Cup semi-final defeat by Argentina.
Spence was named in Tottenham's Premier League starting XI 23 times last season as they narrowly avoided relegation.
He has made 85 appearances for the north London club after a £20m move from Middlesbrough in July 2022 and Spurs have begun the process of identifying potential replacements.
Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi said in July that he wanted to convince Spence to stay at the club.
De Zerbi added he sees Spence, who signed a long-term deal with the club last year, as an important part of his plans.
Spain's World Cup winner Pedro Porro, who De Zerbi said is the "best in the world" in his role, currently occupies Spence's preferred right-back position at Spurs.
