Spence, 25, has been linked with moves to Inter Milan and Everton, with Inter making initial contact with his agency. King compared Spence to club legend Ledley King, praising his versatility, work rate, and potential. Despite his World Cup performances, Spence faces competition at Tottenham from new signing Andy Robertson and Pedro Porro, and started only twice in the last seven games under manager Roberto De Zerbi. King urged the club to make Spence a mainstay rather than sell him for financial reasons.
Inter Milan have temporarily abandoned their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur defender Jed Spence, according to Italian media reports. The 25-year-old, who impressed on loan at Genoa and played for England in the US World Cup, was a key target to replace Denzel Dumfries after his release clause was triggered by Real Madrid. However, Tottenham's asking price of approximately €47 million (£40 million) is considered too high for Inter's limited summer budget, as the club needs to reinforce multiple positions. Inter's search for a right wing-back has faced setbacks: Italian youngster Marco Palestra was blocked by Chelsea's €60 million offer, and a deal for Anan Khalaili collapsed due to medical issues. Inter management is now evaluating other viable targets to complete the reinforcement before the transfer window closes.
