Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has given his verdict on the possibility of Djed Spence leaving Tottenham Hotspur on loan this month.

The Lowdown: Spurs willing to loan out Spence

Football.London reported a few days ago that Antonio Conte's side has given the 'green light' for Spence to go out on loan in January.

There are Premier League clubs interested in the player including Leicester City, Brentford and Crystal Palace, as well as European side Bayer Leverkusen.

In all competitions, the 22-year-old has only played six times for Spurs, with four of those appearances coming in the Premier League.

The Latest: Spence loan possible

Romano spoke about the possible loan move on The Last Word On Spurs. He claims that currently nothing is advanced with any club.

He stated (8:39), "I think is a possibility, I was asking today and I'm told there is a possibility but still nothing advanced with any club. So they want to wait for the next two, three days to understand if someone will advance with a concrete proposal.

"I saw many links with Brentford, but I'm told that Brentford are not in negotiations for Djed Spence at this point.

"Let's see, I think this is another kind of last-minute deal, Monday, Tuesday so this is the possibility, because at the moment seen nothing advanced."

The Verdict: Spence needs minutes

We believe that Spence has talent in there and could really benefit from a loan move away from Spurs this month.

The Tottenham man received plenty of plaudits when he was out on loan at Nottingham Forest, as Danny Gabbidon raved about the player at the time. He labelled Spence as 'a player right on the top of his game', when speaking about him on Sky Sports (via The Nottingham Post).

Where he excelled last season was with the ball at his feet, ranking in the top 6% for successful dribbles in the 2021/22 campaign.

Of the clubs linked, we believe that Palace would be a good option for Spence to head out on loan in January.

Their recent transfer history shows that manager Patrick Viera loves to bring in young stars, they're also light on options in the right-back position.

Both Nathaniel Clyne and Joel Ward are over the age of 30, it would come as no surprise if the Eagles were to bring in Spence to inject some youth into that position.
