Djed Spence Signs New Long-Term Contract with Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur have announced that Djed Spence signed a new long-term deal with the club. It’s another step in building a strong future.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tottenham confirmed that right-back Djed Spence extended his contract. This is less than a year after he signed fresh terms in October 2024. Head coach Thomas Frank trusts Spence as a key part of Tottenham’s future. Spence is eager to accept the new terms from Tottenham and wants to stay in North London.

SPENCE AND SPURS: SEASON SO FAR

This renewal comes as Tottenham aim to improve on last season. Spurs finished the 2024/25 Premier League season in 17th place, dangerously close to relegation, but managed to qualify for the Champions League via their Europa League win. Spence spent much of last season on loan, but impressed upon his return in pre-season. He played in 18 games in all competitions last season and provided two assists. He is expected to challenge Pedro Porro for a starting role. Tottenham started their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 win over promoted Burnley, who is back in the Premier League after gaining promotion last season, putting early pressure on both sides to perform in the new campaign.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR TOTTENHAM’S FUTURE

The new deal shows Tottenham’s belief in Spence as part of a young core to move the club forward. By securing Spence, Tottenham aim to boost their defensive options and offer competition throughout the season. If Spence continues to develop, he could play a big role in Tottenham’s bid to return to the Premier League’s top four. Thomas Frank’s approval of the new contract signals faith in Spence’s ability to match the club’s ambitions as they seek to close the gap with rivals and create stability for the future. This deal will also see a significant increase in Djed Spence’s wages, highlighting Tottenham’s commitment to his potential.
