Djed Spence's summer is being shaped less by whether clubs want him than by what Tottenham can realistically demand. Reports have put the price at around £40 million, while Bryan King has gone much harder, saying Spurs would be foolish to let Djed Spence go for £25m and should not even start thinking about selling for under £50m. He is under contract until June 2029.

Tottenham's price line

The gap between those two figures is the story. Tottenham have one report leaning towards an asking price of around £40 million, while King has argued that a player he describes as a current England international should be kept away from anything below £50m. That is a pretty wide spread for a player whose value has risen quickly over the last year.

Spence made 44 appearances in all competitions in 2025/26 and logged over 3,000 minutes. That is not fringe-player usage. Tottenham got a proper first-team season out of him, which is exactly the sort of thing that strengthens a selling club's hand when the market starts circling.

Inter, Everton and Liverpool are already in the picture

Inter have opened discussions with Spence's representatives, which makes them the most advanced of the clubs named so far. Everton, Liverpool and Newcastle are also monitoring developments, though there is no suggestion that any move is close.

The English interest matters because it keeps the price conversation alive in more than one market. Pete O'Rourke said a suitable offer would still have to be pretty hefty, putting Spence at around £40million-plus. Fabrizio Romano is among the names to have tracked the growing interest, but the main point remains the same: Tottenham are not dealing with a cheap sale candidate.

Spence's England run has only sharpened that. He appeared in all six of England's World Cup matches, starting twice and coming off the bench four times. His own description of the campaign was simple enough: "I think it's just passion Just psyching me up to go on the pitch and cause trouble, and that's what I did."

That blend of workload, international exposure and multiple bidders is why Tottenham are in a strong position. The debate is not over whether Spence has interest around him. It is over whether anyone gets close to the figure Spurs want, with June 2029 still on his contract.
