Former Tottenham scout ‘still trying to work out’ why Spence was sold to Inter
Bryan King, a former senior scout at Tottenham, has questioned the decision to let Djed Spence join Inter, arguing the fee was too low and the player too important to lose.Speaking to Football Insider...
Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has expressed confusion over the club's decision to sell Djed Spence to Inter Milan. Speaking to Football Insider, King questioned why Tottenham let go of the England international, emphasizing that he is a full international player priced at £25m. King remarked, "I’m still trying to work out why they got rid of Spence.
Full England international. £25m. There could have been other players moved on from Tottenham before him." King continued, "Spence had a good World Cup. He became an established international and to move him on for that kind of money, I don’t know." Spence's transfer to Inter leaves Spurs with a significant void at right-back, as they spent over £400m over the summer without securing a senior replacement.
This situation has led to Archie Gray, a natural midfielder, stepping in at right-back, including in the recent 3-2 home defeat to Aston Villa. Roberto De Zerbi, Inter's manager, remains confident with the current setup, stating, "We have Archie Gray, he prefers playing in the midfield position but he can play very well also as a right-back. I think we are good."
