Djed Spence Earns First England Call-Up After Spurs Breakthrough

Thomas Frank credits the 25-year-old’s standout left-back displays for Tottenham.

Overview

  • England boss Thomas Tuchel named Spence to the squad for World Cup qualifiers against Andorra on September 6 and Serbia on September 9.
  • Spence has been starting at left-back during Destiny Udogie’s injury absence, and Frank confirmed Udogie will return for the Bournemouth match.
  • His strong form includes standout performances in wins over Burnley and Manchester City and clean sheets in Spurs’ opening two league games.
  • This is Spence’s first senior selection after loan spells at Rennes, Leeds and Genoa and a late first Tottenham start last December.
  • Frank said Spurs are working to complete a signing, with reports linking RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons in a deal worth about £51.8 million.
