Get ready to say your goodbyes. According to Lyall Thomas at Sky Sports, Djed Spence has flown to Italy to complete his medical ahead of formalizing his transfer to Internazionale.
According to reports, Spence’s transfer fee is £25m, but could rise as high as £30m if his appearance and performance clauses are all met. Spurs also inserted a 10% sell-on
clause into Spence’s deal, so if Inter end up turning around and selling him, Spurs will get a small cut of those proceeds as well.
It’s sad. I like Djed, and there’s no real reason to adjudicate the transfer and argue about why people are upset. I know why people are upset — they like Djed, think he’d do a job for us, and is going for what feels like a pittance. I’d dispute most of those allegations, but that’s old ground.
So all that’s left is to wait for the formal announcement from Spurs and/or Inter and sink deep into our feels about a player that few people initially liked, then everyone seemed to like, and now is gone. Thanks, Diop Tehuti Djed-Hotep Spence. Hope your Italian language skills develop as fast as your defensive skills did.
