What Djed Spence did during Nottingham Forest clash that will seriously annoy Tottenham supporters
They say falling in love with a loan player is a faux pas, and in 2022, Nottingham Forest fans were left heartbroken over Djed Spence.
After reviving the player’s career by taking him on loan for the 2021/22 campaign, Spence accepted the flirtatious approach from Tottenham and chose to sign for them permanently instead.
Spence will forever be adored by Forest fans for his efforts in the Garibaldi. He was a mainstay as the team won promotion to the Premier League, with supporters falling head over heels for the defender.
Last season under Ange Postecoglou, Spence finally got a chance to prove himself at Tottenham following loan spells with Genoa and Leeds, with the player’s form seeing him earn England recognition.
What Djed Spence did that will surely annoy Tottenham fans
It would appear as though a number of Tottenham fans aren’t having Spence as good enough to be part of their team, with a fallout with Thomas Frank taking place earlier this season.
Another storm could be brewing, too, after yesterday’s clash at Forest, which saw Spence risk the wrath of Tottenham fans once again when he was substituted.

Spence looked extremely disgruntled to be going out of the action with his body language suggesting he wasn’t impressed with Frank for making the decision.

With Forest fans rising to their feet to applaud their promotion hero, Spence clapped all four stands of the City Ground – with the exception of those housed in the away end.
It feels as though Spence perhaps is on a collision course with Frank, and it will be interesting to see how things pan out for the former loanee in the coming months.
Forest would relish Spence return
This might be a bit of a pipedream, but if Forest could land one player in the January transfer window, it would likely be another full-back to add to the ranks.
The beauty of Spence is that he can operate on both sides, and if he’s unhappy at Tottenham, he might be willing to return to Forest, considering the club are establishing in the Premier League with each passing year.

Right now, Spence appears to have a bee in his bonnet with Frank, and when that happens, the writing can start to appear on the wall.
Forest fans worship Spence for the work he did in the Championship and having earned his stripes with Tottenham in the Premier League, he’d be a welcome addition to the Reds’ ranks if a price was right.
