Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence, who is understood to be England’s first Muslim player, will make history if he features against Andorra or Serbia.

The 25-year-old was one of two new faces included in Thomas Tuchel's squad as the road to next summer's World Cup continues with qualifiers in September.

Spence was surprised to get the call-up, having not spoken to the England boss before, and amazed to hear he could make history for the men's senior team.

What does Tuchel do with England midfield?

"I've seen that," the versatile full-back said. "It's a blessing, it's amazing. I did see something like that. I was surprised, really, first ever. It's just amazing. I don't have the words really."

Asked if he felt pressure being the first of his faith to play for the senior side, the former England U21 international said: "Maybe, maybe not.

"I don't really feel the pressure for certain things. I just play football with a smile on my face, be happy, and the rest will take care of itself."

Spence's faith plays a big part of his identity and is something he frequently acknowledges on social media.

"First things first, God is the greatest," he said. "I pray a lot. I give gratitude to God.

"In the toughest moments of my life, the darkest moments, I've always believed that God has always been by my side.

"When I'm winning, when I'm in a good moment, I promote God as well because he's always been by my side. It's a big thing for me, my faith."

How Spence went from Spurs wilderness to England squad

It helped Spence overcome the "biggest hurdle" of his career when Tottenham boss Antonio Conte brought him crashing down from the high of winning the play-offs with Nottingham Forest in 2022.

Spurs signed the exciting full-back that summer from parent club Middlesbrough in a deal potentially rising to £20m, but the Italian dismissed him publicly as a club signing.

"I did really well, got promoted with Nottingham Forest," Spence said. "I am buzzing, I am going to sign for Tottenham. So, to hear comments like that wasn't nice. It does shatter your confidence a bit.

"But, you know, I am fighter, so whatever I do I will try to do my best in everything I can."

Spence would end up spending time on loan at Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, forever keeping in mind that "when you believe in yourself and trust in God everything will align with itself".

That approach eventually brought a full Spurs debut last December, two-and-a-half years after he joined, in what proved a breakthrough campaign that culminated in Europa League glory.

Spence's substitute appearance in the Bilbao final was all the more impressive given he started the season by being omitted from Ange Postecoglou's group-stage squad.

"Without [a strong] mentality, you won't make it to the top," he said. "I definitely think I have got a strong mentality, especially to fight through challenges."

Using criticism as fuel has helped on that front, as seen when Spence tagged his critical former Boro boss Neil Warnock in a social media post posing with the play-off trophy and a celebratory cigar.

"I wouldn't say I particularly have a list or anything," he said with a smile when asked if he put names in a little black book.

"But I do have a mental note of people who doubted me, for sure, and it does feel good to prove them wrong."

Spence's ability to fight for his position and deal with disappointment has shone throughout his journey to the England squad via the road less travelled - something he hopes can inspire others.

"If I can do it, you can do it," he said. "Not just Muslim kids, any child of any faith. Put your mind to something and you can do it, man."

It was the news that came out of nowhere. After lots of talk about Daniel Levy's running of Tottenham Hotspur, the chairman has stepped down.

The north London club announced on Thursday that Levy has stepped down from his role after nearly 25 years in the position.

Spurs fans had protested against the running of the club amid just two trophies being won in the Levy era. This is despite the club reaching the Champions League final in 2019 and having world-class options across the board.

Sky Sports News' chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol analyses why Levy left and what happens now...

Why has Levy left now?

Tottenham's effective owners Joe Lewis and his family feel that the time is right for a change.

They will be hugely grateful for the relentless hard work Daniel Levy has done to turn Tottenham into one of the richest and best-run clubs in the world, but they want more sustained success on the pitch.

A return of only two trophies in almost 25 years is simply not good enough for a club as big as Tottenham. Chelsea, for example, have won 20 major trophies during the same period of time.

Of course, Chelsea's success owed a lot to the financial backing of Roman Abramovich, and Tottenham have operated under a different ownership model but at the end of the day fans want glory, they want trophies and exciting football and many simply do not care about balance sheets and the bottom line.

This has turned into a year of big changes at Tottenham on and off the pitch. Since management consultants were brought in, executive director Donna-Maria Cullen and Levy have left and Vinai Venkatesham has been appointed chief executive and Peter Charrington has become the new non-executive chairman.

When it comes to corporate governance, best practice is to have a separate chairman and chief executive. Levy fulfilled both roles until Venkatesham, who previously worked at Arsenal, was appointed in April this year.

Whose decision was Levy exit?

Tottenham's owners want to move in a new direction so it makes sense for them to put in a new leadership team.

Levy has been so closely involved with the day-to-day running of the club that it has always been assumed that he would not leave unless the club was sold.

With hindsight, perhaps the writing was on the wall, when it was announced that Cullen - who worked extremely closely with Levy - was leaving and Venkatesham was becoming CEO.

Tottenham's official statement last night - understandably given everything he has done for the club - said Levy had "stepped down".

Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say he had been asked to step down but that would have been disrespectful to a man who has dedicated so much of his working life to the club.

Will Spurs spend more now Levy has gone?

It's often overlooked that Tottenham actually have a squad packed with elite talent. At the same time it is fair to say that they have been far more cautious than many of their rivals in the transfer and their wages-to-turnover ratio of 42% is the lowest in the Premier League.

If Tottenham are serious about winning the title again for the first time in 64 years, then it is certainly true that they will need to be more decisive when it comes to signings. They will also have to increase their wages-to-turnover ratio if they want to compete consistently at the highest levels.

Tottenham simply do not offer the kind of wages top players can earn at other clubs. Perhaps there is a third way - Chelsea's new owners now only offer new signings highly incentivised contracts with low base wages.

Many football managers and executives have stories to tell about difficult Levy was to deal with during transfer negotiations. At the same time it is true to say that all executives at every level of the game drive a hard bargain to protect the interests of their club.

There have been some well-publicised misses in the window, such as this summer's failure to complete a deal for Eberechi Eze.

Tottenham may be more decisive in their transfer dealings going forward, but Venkatesham will be no soft touch.

What does this mean for the future of Spurs?

Venkatesham has written to Tottenham's staff to tell them it is going to be business as usual. However, it is also clear that there is going to be more emphasis than ever on delivering success on the pitch.

Tottenham's owners want "more wins more often" and see this as "a new era for the club". The pressure is now on Venkatesham to deliver.

Tottenham's statement made clear how grateful they are to Levy for everything he has done, while at the same time emphasising that the transition to a new leadership team would be seamless due to their succession planning.

It will be music to the ears of Tottenham fans that the club will be set up to deliver long-term sporting success. However, that is easier said than done.

Will the ownership change?

The message coming from Tottenham loud and clear is that there will be no change to the ownership structure. The official statement last night is unequivocal: "There are no changes to the ownership or shareholder structure of the club".

Having said that, it is an open secret in the city that Tottenham have been in talks with potential new investors. Those talks have not led to any new equity injection so far, but it may now be easier to attract outside investment with a new management structure in place.

Tottenham are one of the few big clubs in England that have not been bought or sold in the past 25 years. When Levy took charge, Tottenham were worth about £80m. Today they would be valued at up to £4bn - if they were for sale.

How will he be remembered?

Levy has been one of English football's key power brokers this century. He has not only transformed the fortunes of his club, but also helped transform the fortunes of the top level of English football.

His legacy will undoubtedly be Tottenham's magnificent stadium. He was intimately involved with almost every feature and detail of what is now regarded as arguably the best football stadium in the world. Of course, it is much more than just a football stadium and that has been a source of frustration for fans - and revenue for the club.

Despite all the off-field success, it is undeniable that a club the size of Tottenham should have won more trophies during the past 25 years. Two trophies and 15 managers is simply not an acceptable return, even though under Levy, Tottenham, without the kind of financial backing some of their rivals have received, have been one of the best-run clubs in the world.

And what's next for Levy?

Levy is still only 63 so you would think he still has plenty to offer the game. He still owns a significant stake in Tottenham but he will not be short of offers if he wants to continue working in the game.

Daniel Levy has stepped down as executive chairman at Tottenham Hotspur after nearly 25 years in the role.

Sky Sports News understands Spurs' majority shareholders - the Lewis family - are committed to the long-term future of the club and are not looking to sell their shares.

Levy's exit has led to further speculation that the Lewis family are preparing for a potential sale - something that has been rumoured in football for some time.

But Sky Sports News has been told the decision has been taken in pursuit of long-term success and building on the foundations of their Europa League triumph.

A source close to the Lewis family told Sky Sports News: "Generations of the Lewis family support this special football club and they want what the fans want - more wins more often.

"This is why you have seen recent changes, new leadership and a fresh approach. In Vinai (Venkatesham), Thomas (Frank) and Peter Charrington, they believe they are backing the right team to deliver on this. This is a new era."

Levy: We have built Spurs into global heavyweight

Levy had been the longest-serving chairman in the Premier League after purchasing a stake in Spurs from Lord Alan Sugar in December 2000.

He had overseen the building of a new training ground and stadium over the last quarter of a century, but also faced criticism from the fanbase for a lack of investment in transfers.

This summer, Levy appointed Thomas Frank as the club's new men's manager and Martin Ho for the women's side, It followed the departures of Ange Postecoglou and Robert Vilahamn respectively.

During his tenure, Spurs won the League Cup and the Europa League in May, as well as reaching the Champions League final under Mauricio Pochettino.

In a statement, Levy said: "I am incredibly proud of the work I have done together with the executive team and all our employees.

"We have built this club into a global heavyweight competing at the highest level. More than that, we have built a community. I was lucky enough to work with some of the greatest people in this sport, from the team at Lilywhite House and Hotspur Way to all the players and managers over the years.

"I wish to thank all the fans that have supported me over the years. It hasn't always been an easy journey but significant progress has been made. I will continue to support this club passionately."

At boardroom level in the last few months, Vinai Venkatesham was hired as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) while Peter Charrington joined the board and will step into the newly created role of non-executive chairman.

A club statement added: "This is all part of the club's ambition to ensure that it is set up to deliver long-term sporting success... There are no changes to the ownership or shareholder structure of the club."

'Levy may have been asked to step down'

Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol:

"What's interesting is that in the official statement from Tottenham, it says that Levy is stepping down. But it looks like he may have been asked to step down by the ultimate owners of the club, the Lewis family.

"I think their thinking is that even though he has achieved so much at Spurs, especially building the stadium, turning them into one of the richest football clubs in the world, they just want a little bit more success on the pitch.

"There is the feeling that Levy was maybe holding them back a little bit, especially if you look at their wages. They were paying about 42 per cent of their revenue in wages to players. That is much, much less than other clubs, other rivals in the Premier League.

"Their fans have been saying there's no reason why we shouldn't be competing to win the Premier League, that we need to buy better players and also pay them more.

"Everybody knows that Levy was quite cautious when it came to transfer dealings as well. So I think maybe going forward, we are going to see the loosening of the purse strings a little bit more.

"Maybe Tottenham will start paying higher wages and maybe they'll start spending more in the transfer market. In my personal opinion, Daniel Levy has built an exceptional squad. But the fans want just a little bit more."

Levy on fan protests: 'When I'm gone, I'll get the credit'

In early August, Levy gave an interview with The Overlap and addressed criticism over his ownership, amid regular protests from Spurs fans against both him and the ENIC Group, which also has a stake in the club.

The 63-year-old believed his role in building the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium means he will only get credit for his work once he has left the club - which he now has - before adding that he shares in the Spurs fans' pain when they do not succeed on the pitch.

"When I'm not here, I'm sure I'll get the credit," said Levy.

"When you come here and look at this wonderful building - and the fact that other clubs are trying to copy what we're doing - it should be a sign that we did something a bit bold and right.

"Of course [fan unrest] hurts, but their pain is also my pain. I want to win and when we're not playing well and not winning, believe me - I suffer as well.

"It ruins my whole weekend. It's horrible. You're in this to win. When you don't win, it's not fun."

One of the criticisms Levy had is an overinvolvement in the football side of the club, despite a strong track record in the commercial success of Spurs.

Asked if that criticism is fair, Levy replied: "I would say that's completely unfair. People who have worked in this club and understand the workings of the football side of this club, I do not interfere at all in the decision-making of this player versus that player. It is always the coach and the technical staff.

"The only way I get involved is when they decide which player they want to buy or sell, I will go out and do my very best for this football club. But I'm not interfering in the football decisions.

"It's not different from any other club. It's not just me, it's a board. When we went through the decision to appoint Thomas, there were a number of people involved, in which I was just one of them."

He also added that winning the Europa League was his best achievement at the club, saying: "It has to be. Also when we came back here a few days later and did the parade. The outpouring of emotion for everyone to see around the world was amazing.

"It was nothing to do with the money, it was all about [that] we needed a trophy. I promise you. The money, you realise a few days later that we're in the Champions League. But it was about getting a trophy. It's my proudest moment."

Fan views: 'Sad day for Spurs' - but should Levy have gone after the new stadium was opened?

Sky Sports has been asking Tottenham fans for their thoughts on Levy's departure and his legacy, with differing views on what he has contributed to the club. Have your say in our dedicated Spurs club blog.

Geoff31s: Who do we blame if things go wrong again? From a footballing perspective I'm excited for what is to come. He has a lot of faults but he's built the club, an amazing stadium, great training stadium and put us firmly on the map. Let's hope the future is bright

Dave S: Sad day for Spurs, I think Levy will leave a lasting legacy; new stadium and major European silverware. I hope that the club's trajectory is still positive, else wise the fans who called for a resignation will come to rue their remonstrations!

Stephen : I wish to thank him for all he's done. He gets a lot of stick from fans with regards to his dealings but just look at where we are now and where we were 25 years ago. A lot of it is because of Daniel Levy. I hope that this is because he wants to leave and not anything other. Coys

Kevin: Finally! Should have happened once the stadium opened. People say the only reason Villa and Newcastle can't compete is because of PSR. The only reason Spurs couldn't compete was Levy. Spurs have hundreds of millions of PSR Headroom. Tottenham are coming for the Premier League.

Johnny Cakes: End of an era. Good luck and thank you, Daniel. There's been a few positives and many disappointments during your tenure, not that is all on your shoulders, ENIC have been a lot to blame.

Connor: Glad he's gone to be honest, we need to be competitive at the top end of the league and not keep sacking managers like we always do. Hopefully new executive chairman will push the club forward and not worry too much about business all the time!!

Josh: Absolutely delighted. Levy has hamstrung us for far too long with his penny pinching, self imposed wage caps, false promises and blaming passing approach to running the club. Yes he has built us into a financially self sufficient club but he lost sight the football side year ago
