Inter Milan plot Djed Spence swoop after England World Cup revival

Djed Spence’s impressive resurgence at the 2026 World Cup has opened the door to a potential summer move, with Inter Milan emerging as one of the leading clubs interested in securing the England defender’s services.

The Italian giants have identified the Tottenham Hotspur full-back as a priority target as they look to reinforce their wing-back options ahead of the new season. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Spence is viewed by Inter as a key addition for new head coach Christian Chivu’s tactical plans.

Spence, 25, entered the World Cup facing questions over his long-term future but has transformed his reputation with a series of strong performances for England. His displays on the international stage have reportedly caught the attention of several major European clubs, with Inter now among those monitoring his situation closely.

Spurs exit possible as Inter move ahead of Premier League rivals

The defender is said to be open to a new challenge and could leave Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer after struggling for consistent opportunities during parts of his Spurs career.

A move to Serie A would represent another major step in Spence’s career, following a difficult period that saw him spend time away from Tottenham before fighting his way back into contention at club and international level.

Inter’s interest comes at a time when the Nerazzurri are seeking defensive reinforcements following the departure of Denzel Dumfries. The Dutch wing-back has joined Real Madrid on a free transfer, leaving Chivu with the task of rebuilding his options in the position.

The former Inter midfielder turned coach is keen to add quality and depth to the full-back department, and Spence’s athleticism, versatility and recent form have made him an attractive option.

Spence’s performances have also attracted interest from the Premier League, with Liverpool and Newcastle United reportedly among the clubs keeping track of his availability.

However, Inter are believed to have moved ahead of their English rivals in the race for his signature and are now exploring the possibility of bringing the defender to the San Siro.
