Breaking: Inter close in on €30 million deal for Tottenham star Djed Spence | OneFootball

Serie A side Inter are nearing an agreement with Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur for the transfer of Djed Spence. 

A report by La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Inter and Tottenham are close to reaching an understanding on transfer fees for Djed Spence. The total deal is expected to be around €30 million plus bonuses. 

Following the €20 million transfer of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid earlier this summer, Inter were left with the task of finding a reliable successor to the right-back role. The Nerazzurri had Spence and Al-Ittihad’s wide midfielder Moussa Diaby in their sights, but negotiations for the latter turned out to be a complicated affair since the Saudi Arabian side had already received a tempting offer from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen. 

Tottenham Pre-Season Return: Will Spence Be Ready for Inter Debut?

The objective right now for Inter is to put pen to paper on the contract for Spence before the start of the season. However, it is unlikely that he will be fit to start the opener since he just returned to training at Spurs following the post-World Cup break. Like his England teammate, Inter’s new signing John Stones is also expected to miss the first match, and should Spence’s transfer go through successfully, both should be fit for the second one.
