Djed Spence’s Tottenham performances in February have not gone unnoticed, earning him a place in WhoScored’s European Team of the Month.
February proved to be one of the brighter spells in an otherwise turbulent season for Tottenham Hotspur.
Ange Postecoglou’s side, still searching for the kind of fluency and dominance expected under the Australian, found some rhythm during the month, securing three wins from four Premier League outings.
Though their cup aspirations were cut short following exits from both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, the Lilywhites managed to put together a string of strong league performances.
A key contributor during this period was Djed Spence, whose performances caught the eye. The full-back not only played a pivotal role in the backline but also grabbed his first Premier League goal against Ipswich Town while helping his side keep two clean sheets.
Djed Spence makes it to European Team of the Month
Of course, the 24-year-old’s displays in February did not go unnoticed. He featured in multiple team of the week selections from notable pundits, including Alan Shearer and Troy Deeney, with particular praise following his performances against Manchester United and Ipswich Town.
However, the accolades have not stopped there. The Englishman has now been named in WhoScored’s European team of the month, cementing his reputation as one of the continent’s most in-form defenders.

Can Spence become a key figure for Tottenham?
There is no doubt that the 24-year-old has been one of Spurs’ most reliable performers in recent weeks.
His mix of pace, defensive awareness, and attacking intent make him an asset in Postecoglou’s system. However, the challenge for him is to maintain this level and establish himself as an undisputed starter.
