Tottenham may recall a loanee who is doing better in Italian league

In Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Salernitana by Genoa, Djed Spence, a Tottenham loanee, made an impressive Serie A debut: Tuttosport wrote, “An interesting prospect”.

At the Stadio Arechi on Sunday, the 23-year-old was used as a left wing-back in a 3-5-2 configuration, and he helped Genoa defeat rivals Salernitana 2-1.

Gazzetta, Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport, and all other Italian sports publications gave Spence a 6.5/10 rating on Monday, the day he played the full game.

Spence’s endurance down the flank astonished the Italian media as a whole. The English defender was described as “immediately ready” by Gazzetta and as a “very interesting prospect” by Tuttosport.

Figures from SofaScore indicate At the Stadio Arechi, Spence had 36 touches and only missed four passes out of a possible 23 (83% accuracy). He only prevailed in one out of three ground-duel matches, though, and failed to produce any shots on goal.
