Djed Spence

Djed Spence burst onto the national radar with a marauding, high-energy season on loan at Nottingham Forest in 2021-22 that helped Steve Cooper's side win promotion from the Championship, earning him a move to Tottenham. An attack-minded right wing-back or full-back with genuine pace and directness, he has found consistent Premier League minutes harder to come by at Spurs than his Forest form suggested. His England involvement reflects the depth of options at right back rather than an established hierarchy — but his athleticism and forward threat give him a distinct profile when the game opens up.
