Comparing Djed Spence’s 21-22 stats to Tottenham’s current wing-backs

Spence was one of the standout players in the Championship last season during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest and helped the club achieve promotion after 23 years in the lower divisions.

“[This club] means everything to me,” Spence said after their play-off final victory over Huddersfield. “I’ve come here and the fans and gaffer have both taken me in. We lose together and win together. We’re going up together. This means everything to me.”

When asked whether he would like to stay at the City Ground, Spence said: “I would love to stay, but it’s not in my hands. We’ll see what the future holds.”

But his standout performance during the FA Cup victory over Arsenal in January 2022 bought Spence to national attention. Both Arsenal and Spurs were strongly linked with the 21-year-old but it seems like Spence will be heading to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have already completed two signings this summer in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster as they look to back Antonio Conte for their upcoming Champions League campaign.

And we’ve compared Spence’s 21-22 Championship stats at Forest with the corresponding Premier League numbers of the current wing-back options at Antonio Conte’s disposal.
