Inter in advanced talks for Spurs full-back Spence

Inter Milan are in advanced discussions with Tottenham and England full-back Djed Spence, according to the latest reports. The 26-year-old is a key target for the Serie A champions, following his strong performances at the World Cup, where he appeared in eight matches. Despite initial criticism, Spence proved his worth by starting in England's World Cup semi-final loss to Argentina.

During the 2022-23 Premier League season, Spence started 23 times in Tottenham’s starting lineup, helping the team narrowly escape relegation. He has made 85 appearances for Spurs since his £20 million transfer from Middlesbrough in July 2022. Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi expressed his desire to retain Spence, who signed a long-term contract with the club last year and is considered an important part of his plans.

Currently, Spain's World Cup winner Pedro Porro holds Spence's preferred right-back position at Tottenham. The England defender played six matches on the left at the World Cup and featured 32 times on the left for Tottenham last season. In addition to pursuing Spence, Spurs signed Scotland left-back Andy Robertson from Liverpool at the start of the summer.

Police searched the server company of the ruling People Power Party (PPP) on Tuesday over a post allegedly made by party leader Han Dong-hoon on the party’s online bulletin board that criticized the government. 경찰은 이날 국민의힘 서버를 관리하는 업체를 압수수색했다. A police search of a server company took place amid allegations that Han Dong-hoon, leader of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), had made a post on the party’s online bulletin board that criticized the government. 국민의힘 서버를 관리하는 업체 관계자는 “오전에 경찰이 서버를 압수수색했다”고 밝혔다. The police investigation is focused on whether Han Dong-hoon, the current PPP leader, had made the post on the party’s bulletin board, and if so, whether it was written under a pseudonym. 경찰은 한동훈 국민의힘 대표가 게시판에 글을 게시한 건지, 또 아이디가 실명이라면 아이디의 주인도 한 대표인지를 확인할 방침이다. The police are also looking into whether the company had taken measures to protect the personal information of users. 경찰 관계자는 “서버 관리 업체를 상대로 개인정보보호법 위반 여부도 들여다보고 있다”고 말했다. The search is related to a post that appeared on the party’s bulletin board on Aug. 15 that strongly criticized President Yoon Suk Yeol. 이번 압수수색은 지난달 15일 국민의힘 당원게시판에 윤석열 대통령을 강하게 비판하는 글이 게시된 사건과 관련 있다. The post, which was later confirmed to have been written by a party member, not Han, sparked controversy as many speculated that it was written by Han, who denied the allegations. 당시 게시판에는 윤석열 대통령을 비판하는 댓글이 달렸고, 작성자가 한 대표라는 의혹이 제기되면서 논란이 일었다. The police investigation comes as Han is gearing up to run in the PPP’s leadership election next month. 경찰의 압수수색은 한 대표가 내달 있을 국민의힘 전당대회 출마를 준비하는 상황에서 이뤄졌다. Han has been leading the party since 2021 and is eligible to run for re-election. 한 대표는 2021년부터 국민의힘을 이끌어왔으며, 연임이 가능하다.
