Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence has signed a contract extension through to 2028.
The 24-year-old has yet to start a competitive game for Spurs since joining the club on a five-year deal from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2022.
Described as a “club signing” by then-head coach Antonio Conte, Spence spent the latter half of the 2022-23 season on loan in Ligue 1 with Rennes — the first of three loan spells away from the London club.
Spence spent the first half of the 2023-24 season on loan at Leeds United in the Championship before joining Italian side Genoa for the remainder of that campaign.

Postecoglou opens door to Spence staying at Spurs
The former England Under-21 international has made 10 appearances for Spurs and scored his first competitive goal for the club in last month’s Carabao Cup victory over Coventry City.
He has featured in four of Tottenham’s 10 matches this campaign, all as a substitute, and most recently in the club’s three-goal victory at Manchester United.
Spence, who played 42 Championship matches on loan during Nottingham Forest’s promotion campaign in the 2021-22 season, remains understudy to Pedro Porro as Ange Postecoglou’s first-choice right-back option.
