# Tottenham: Spurs set for internal Djed Spence exit talks

**Journalist Dean Jones has shared some news on [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) and the future of summer signing Djed Spence.**

### The Lowdown: Spence joins Tottenham…

The Lilywhites right-back was among a [contingent of new players](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148) brought in to back Antonio Conte and make Spurs a force to be reckoned with this season.

Ahead of the 2022/23 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) campaign, Spurs signed the former Nottingham Forest loanee along with sealing Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet, Destiny Udogie and a permanent deal for Cristian Romero.

However, it hasn’t exactly been a dream start to life in north London for the defender, with Conte only calling on Spence for [two league minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/362219/Show/Djed-Spence) in total despite his ability.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a brilliant campaign at Forest last season, with some members of the media calling him an [‘incredible’](https://twitter.com/DTathletic/status/1504200789111287813) player.

### The Latest: Jones shares Spence update…

However, speaking to [GiveMeSport,](https://www.givemesport.com/88070801-tottenham-set-to-discuss-january-exit-for-19m-star-at-hotspur-way) Jones has now claimed that Spurs are set for internal exit talks over Spence’s future at the club, with a potential loan move away deemed a possiblity.

He explained: *“I have said for a while that it would not surprise me if Djed Spence was made available for loan in January.*

*“I think it will depend on the depth of options Spurs have by that stage but, certainly, it is something that is going to be discussed.”*

### The Verdict: He needs minutes…

Spence going out on loan for the second half of this season could be best for all parties.

Tipped to be a [‘great signing’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/djed-spence-pundit-shares-excited-tottenham-claim-after-sources-update-on-incredible-star/) by some pundits within the media, the 22-year-old needs regular minutes to continue developing and potentially one day become a real mainstay in the Tottenham squad.

The fact that he hasn’t even had a look-in despite Emerson Royal’s [current suspension](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php) does not bode particularly well for him in N17 right now.
