Hero status, Arsenal admission - Djed Spence insight as expert reveals all after Tottenham move

Djed Spence became Tottenham's sixth signing of the summer, when his five year deal was completed on Tuesday. The 21-year-old has made the move to N17 for a fee of £12.5million, rising to £20million with add-ons and will play in the No.24 shirt.

The defender was on loan at Nottingham Forest from Middlesbrough last season and became a pivotal part of the journey to promotion for Steve Cooper's side. Spence made 42 Championship appearances in the last campaign, starting in 40 of them and producing seven goal contributions.

The youngster's move to Spurs was a long time coming, with Spence being linked for a good while and the deal taking its time to get over the line. However, it is now official and not only will the 21-year-old add squad depth to Antonio Conte's side, he is a player with great potential and someone who could become a star for Tottenham's future.

Djed Spence's first words on Tottenham transfer, Ryan Sessegnon and what he will bring to Spurs

In his first interview as a Spurs man, Spence opened up on his move. "To be in the Premier League and a big club like Tottenham is a dream come true. I'm just thankful that I've got here and going to get the opportunity to play for the club," he admitted.

He then went on to explain what he can bring to Conte's squad: "I bring excitement, skill, speed, I just want to excite the fans and play well. To just be prepared to work hard," Spence said.

"I'm a very chilled character, I'm very humble and everything is about football with me. I've dedicated my whole life to it, nothing else but just football, football, football really."

Some Tottenham fans may be yet to see Spence in action and there will be hope he can make an immediate impact. spoke to Nottinghamshire Live's
