Pundit feels Djed Spence is now undroppable at Tottenham
Spence’s strong form earned him an England call-up in the past international break. He came on as a substitute in England’s 5-0 smashing of Serbia in a World Cup qualifier. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand thinks the Tottenham man is the best 1v1 defender and should become a part of Thomas Tuchel’s squad at the expense of the ageing Kyle Walker.
At club level, the full-back has been solid both defensively and going forward. He has deputised well at left-back in the absence of Destiny Udogie, who is now back to fitness and came on as a substitute in the 1-0 victory over Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Now, famous football commentator and analyst Ian Darke feels Spence is now indispensable to the Tottenham side. As a result, Udogie must wait for his opportunity. He exclusively told Tottenham News:
“I think it means he keeps his place, to be honest with you, for the time being,”
“I think Spence’s been in such good form. He’s forced his way into the England set-up so that he won’t get left out.
“And he’d be a contender for the other position on the right, Pedro Porro’s position, if he weren’t playing left-back. So nice problem for Frank to have, but I think Udogie might have to wait his turn.”
