Spurs confirm another star has signed new deal as they look to complete signing of Eze | OneFootball

Tottenham defender Djed Spence says he is targeting more silverware with Spurs after signing a new deal with the club.

Spence joined Spurs from Middlesbrough in July 2022, and after loan spells at Rennes, Leeds United and Genoa, made 35 appearances for the club last season.

It follows youngster Mikey Moore, who is on loan for the season at Scottish club Rangers, also penning a new deal with the club.

“I’m over the moon,” Spence said after signing his new deal. “I’m happy to sign and I just can’t wait to start the season.

“I just want to keep playing well and reach higher levels. Everyone has trials and tribulations, but you know I’m a fighter so I always work hard, try to do my best and come back from there.

“It’s been difficult. It’s been a rollercoaster road, for every challenge I’ve been resilient and fast forward I’m here now and I’m happy so I’m just over the moon with everything.

“I’ve definitely grown. I’ve learned a lot over the past few years, being in different countries, learning new things.”

Spence helped Spurs to lift the Europa League last season despite the club’s disappointing domestic campaign.

Reflecting on last season, he said: “Personally I think it was a great season for myself. Probably my breakthrough season you could say in the Premier League.

“I was happy with myself and hopefully this year I can continue that and get to new heights.

“It’s a good feeling. Hopefully I can continue it again this year and we can win something.

“The new manager has been good with me. He speaks with me a lot and gives me confidence, so I think that is very important for a player.

“My target for the season is to definitely win a trophy, play as many games as I can and just win.”

Spurs, meanwhile, are trying to complete a deal to sign Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Ebere Eze.

Tottenham are in talks with Palace over a deal for the 27-year-old, who is valued at around £70m.
