Tottenham have some real quality in the full-back positions in Ange Postecoglou's team. Seeing Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie flourish in his eye-catching attacking system last campaign, Djed Spence is now doing likewise in the 2024/25 season after previously spending time away from N17 on loan.
In such a mixed year for the club with the team currently in the bottom half of the Premier League table but with Spurs still having an eye on Europa League glory come May, Spence has been one of the success stories of the term for Tottenham. All three players are very exciting moving upfield and they could well play a big role in the remaining months of the season as they look to finish the campaign on a high.
But what exactly could the 2025/26 season have in store for Tottenham's full-backs? football.london takes a look below and state whether they should stay, leave or depart on loan.
Djed Spence
Spence has enjoyed quite the redemption story at Tottenham. Not getting a chance under Tottenham's previous managers, the full-back is now a regular for Postecoglou after seizing his opportunity in the first team.
The ex-Nottingham Forest loanee is practically an undroppable for Spurs right now and his outstanding form could possibly result in a first England call-up later this month. Although the 24-year-old is a right-back by trade, the vast majority of his football for Spurs has come on the opposite side of the pitch and he now looks completely at home as a left-back.
It's going to be fascinating to see how the battle for Tottenham's right-back and left-back spot develops over the course of this season and beyond due to Spence's form and versatility. KEEP.
Pedro Porro
It would now appear that Porro has some serious competition for his place in the team with Spence wowing under Postecoglou. In a season where the Lilywhites have had a host of injury issues, the Spaniard has been a constant for the team and played 38 games in all competitions.
This could well be his most productive season in a Tottenham shirt to date as he has matched his seven assists from last term but he does need to better his current goal tally of two as he netted four times in 2023/24. KEEP.
Destiny Udogie
Previously an undroppable in Postecoglou's team, Udogie's role in the Tottenham side does not look as secure now because of Spence's form. A hamstring injury limited his football in the opening couple of months of 2025 but he is fully fit once again and back in the Tottenham team.
Hopefully his return to action can see him hit the heights for Spurs again as he can be a influential player for them with his runs from his left-back berth. KEEP.
Sergio Reguilon
It appeared that Sergio Reguilon would not play a part in Postecoglou's plans this season but the amount of injuries the team have suffered resulted in the Spaniard coming back into the fold. The ex-Real Madrid player looked a certainty to leave in the summer but a move away never came to fruition, with Spurs then not in a position to let him go in January due to lack of available defenders.
Reguilon has been a regular in the squad since December, making five appearances in total for Tottenham. However, his place on the bench may soon come to an end as Tottenham are waiting on Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies to return to fitness.
Going on the players who are to return and those who have just made their comeback, the 28-year-old may have played his final game for Tottenham. He is out of contract at the end of the season and he should have his pick of the clubs given he will be available on a free transfer. SUMMER EXIT.
