The club made the decision to purchase Spence not me, states Conte
Tottenham welcomed their sixth new face with the Hotspur Way doorways now, with Djed Spence following within the actions of Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, and Clement Lenglet.
However, Antonio Conte revealed in the press conference that Spence was really a signing driven through the club, instead of certainly one of their own personal targets.
He stated: “For that club, it isn’t simple to enter the transfer market and sign players free like Perisic and Forster and sign players on loan like Lenglet, and also to sign players with money like Richarlison and Bissouma and Spence.
“Spence is definitely an investment from the club. The club wanted to get it done. I stated OK, this player is youthful, but he demonstrated he is able to be a good, important player for all of us. The club made the decision to purchase him.”
These comments have brought some to question whether Conte wanted Spence, when the club forced the best-back on him and if the 21-year-old will be presented game time.
