Tottenham players can be certain that their achievements do not go unnoticed.
Especially when it comes to growth and improvement as footballers, the Spurs continue to develop, preparing themselves for each match. One player, in particular, recently caught the attention of Neil Warnock.
Before diving into that, let's recap some of the latest news surrounding the club.
It is believed that Tottenhamâs rising star, Yang Min-Hyeok, may remain out on loan until next season, as the club feels he still needs time to adapt.
And speaking of young talents, rumours suggest that Spurs are interested in signing another promising youngsterâthis time from Corinthians.
Now, onto Neil Warnock, the former Middlesbrough manager, and his thoughts on Djed Spence, who previously played under him.
Neil Warnock shares his thoughts on Djed Spence's performance
Speaking on The Seaman Says Podcast, Warnock shared his opinion on Spenceâs latest performances, admitting he feels proud of the playerâs progress:
"Well, I watched Djed Spence and I thought, what a player, you know. Unfortunately for me, I'm hoping that some of the things I said to him at Middlesbrough might have come through. Because he wasnât a nice lad."
"He had a few problems, I thought, at Middlesbrough. And he had to sort himself out. But last night, when you looked at him on the pitch last night, I even thought, I bet heâs done all right off the pitch now," Warnock explained.
He also clarified that, despite not being fond of Spence as a person, he never doubted his abilities, "Heâs learnt so quickly, hasnât he?" Warnock said.
Furthermore, he suggested that former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte didnât truly want to sign Spence but was simply looking to bring in an English player.
"I don't think Conte wanted him, if I'm honest. But, and you'll give him a chance. And I looked at it, I thought he was refreshing me. That's nice. Everything he did, I thought, that'll do for me."
Spence is living the dream at Tottenham
According to reports, Spence had a reality check during his loan spell, which motivated him to push himself to the highest level.
He has shown that he has learned from past mistakes and matured to meet the high standards expected at Tottenham.
The truth is, Spence has been given more opportunities within the first team, allowing him to showcase his talent.
He arrived at the club as a young boy with a dream, and now, he is finally making it a reality.
