Djed Spence touched down in Milan on Thursday and is scheduled to have a medical with Inter on Friday as the Italy giants move to finalise a transfer from Tottenham Hotspur reported to be worth €35 million including add-ons.
Arrival signals near-term close to deal
The England international’s arrival in Milan is the clearest sign yet that the clubs have reached agreement on personal terms and are prepared to wrap up the move. Inter, commonly known as the Nerazzurri, submitted a formal opening bid that tested Spurs’ willingness to sell and have stepped up their pursuit in recent days.
Spence’s presence in the city to undergo his medical represents the standard next step in a high-value transfer: paperwork and physical checks prior to the clubs completing registration and announcing the deal publicly. While clubs often structure transfer fees with performance-related add-ons, the headline figure being reported — €35 million including add-ons — places this among notable cross-border moves for a young British defender.
What this means for Inter and Tottenham
- Inter secure a young, pacey fullback who has attracted attention across Europe and is expected to provide width and defensive cover for the Serie A side.
- Tottenham stand to receive substantial funds that could be recycled into their transfer plans or used to balance the books, depending on the final structure of the deal.
- The move continues a wider pattern of Premier League clubs selling talent to Italy’s top clubs when the price meets the seller’s valuation.
The transfer market this summer has seen several headline moves, and the addition of Spence would bolster Inter’s options at fullback — an area that often requires both attacking thrust and defensive discipline in Italy’s elite competition.
| Player | From | To | Reported Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Djed Spence | Tottenham Hotspur | Inter | €35m (including add-ons) |
Because the move is not yet formally announced by both clubs, key contractual details — such as the exact breakdown of the fee and any sell-on clauses — remain private until disclosed in an official statement.
Spence’s transfer would represent another example of English players opting for Serie A at an early stage in their careers, attracted by the prospect of regular minutes and the tactical demands of Italian football. For Inter, the acquisition signals intent to refresh certain positions while competing on multiple fronts domestically and in Europe.
Next steps and wider transfer context
The immediate next step is the medical on Friday in Milan. If the examination and paperwork proceed without complication, the clubs are expected to finalise terms and make a joint announcement. Media outlets have already linked the player to the Nerazzurri and reported that personal terms are agreed, making the medical the final hurdle.
For supporters and observers, attention will quickly turn to how soon Spence can be integrated into Inter’s match-day squad and what role he will play under the current coaching staff. Tottenham supporters will watch how the club reinvests the incoming funds and whether this signals more departures or targeted additions this window.
As the transfer window continues to churn, the successful conclusion of this deal will be among the higher-profile moves between the Premier League and Serie A in this cycle, underlining the increasingly fluid market for young, promising fullbacks across Europe.
