Djed Spence's Premier League Rise Sparks England Call-Up Talks

Djed Spence has emerged as a key player for Tottenham Hotspur after a challenging start to his career at the club, having started 12 of the last 13 matches since mid-December. Initially criticized and sidelined by former manager Antonio Conte, Spence's resurgence has been praised by current head coach Ange Postecoglou, who noted his impressive performances and potential inclusion in Thomas Tuchel's upcoming England squad. Postecoglou highlighted that he intentionally made it difficult for Spence at the beginning of the season to test his resolve, which has paid off as Spence demonstrated resilience and hard work. His recent performances, including being named man-of-the-match against Manchester United, have garnered him recognition as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League. With Spence's stock rising, Postecoglou appreciates his contribution and emphasizes the need for him to continue pushing his limits. The manager also faces a selection dilemma for the upcoming match against Ipswich Town, with multiple players competing for the full-back positions.
