Djed Spence showcased his talent in a Tottenham shirt, reminding manager Ange Postecoglou of his potential in a decisive 5-1 friendly victory over Hearts on Wednesday evening. The right-back's impactful second-half performance could prompt a transfer reconsideration.
Tottenham began with a strong starting XI at Tynecastle Park but replaced all 11 players at halftime, introducing Spence alongside Lucas Bergvall and Mikey Moore. Despite leading 1-0 at the break through Brennan Johnson's goal, Spurs quickly found themselves level after Lawrence Shankland exploited a defensive error.
However, Tottenham's youthful side soon regained control, with academy player Will Lankshear restoring their lead at 55 minutes, thanks to Spence's brilliant play and precise pass. Spence continued to impress, scoring 17 minutes later from Timo Werner's low cross.
Spence's performance was praised by fans, marking his finest display for Tottenham after limited appearances and loan spells. His standout play not only bolstered Tottenham's attack but also solidified his defensive contributions, potentially altering his future with the club.
