Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached an agreement with Inter Milan
Tottenham Hotspur have reached a reported £26.9m agreement with Inter Milan for England international Djed Spence.
The full-back has a full agreement in place with the Italian side, according to Fabrizio Romano, and is closing in on a move to the Serie A.
Spence will play Champions League football with the Italian outfit next season, pending a medical at the San Siro.
Premier League rivals Liverpool had also been linked with a move for Spence, but look to have missed out on the versatile Spurs full-back.
There's been plenty of debate online about the fee that Spurs are recouping for the the 26-year-old, who impressed with England during the World Cup.
The reported agreement is just £6.9m more than what the club paid Championship side Middlesbrough for Spence back in 2022.

Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi previously told football.london that he wanted to keep both Spence and Lucas Bergvall at the club, but wouldn't stand in their way if they wanted to leave.
"What I say to you, is the same I said to Djed and to Lucas - 'I would like you to stay'," he explained. "Not 'I want you to stay'. 'I would like you stay if you want to stay'," he explained.
"'If you don't want to stay, if you want to leave, you have to leave'. If you want to leave, speak with Vinai [Venkatesham] and Johan, because I don't manage the price, the sale.
"I can speak with Vinai and Johan about the best strategy, but I don't decide £30m, £40m, that's not my position and I don't want to change my position. It's tough enough to be a coach and I want to stay as a coach.
"But I respected the player's ideas and opinions or projects. But if they stay, they have to stay following my rules, decisions on the pitch.
"After two games, three games, if one player is not playing and he starts to be sad or not correct with the other players, the coaches, staff, the club, we would make a big, big mistake because we didn't learn from the past season."
