Djed Spence: A Rising Star with Versatility
Djed Spence, full name Diop Tehuti Djed-Hotep Spence, is a versatile right-back currently contracted with Tottenham Hotspur until June 30, 2027. Born in London, England, on August 9, 2000, the 23-year-old has shown his adaptability by also playing as a right midfielder and left-back. His football journey includes stints at Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Rennes, and currently, Genoa on loan. Spence’s career statistics are impressive, with a total of 208 appearances, 4 goals, and 14 assists, accumulating 18,692 minutes of playtime.
