'To go from watching some of the players on TV to now playing with them… it’s going to be great and I’m excited to learn from them and take in anything they can offer me.'
Djed Spence said the opportunity to play Premier League football with Tottenham was “a dream come true” after completing his move from Middlesbrough.
The right-back signed a five-year contract with Antonio Conte’s side following a deal believed to be worth an initial £12.5millionSpence, who is Spurs’ sixth arrival of the summer, has spent his entire career in the Sky Bet Championship, including helping Nottingham Forest to promotion last season during a successful loan switch from Boro.“It’s amazing, I’m thankful that I’m here and that I’m going to get the opportunity to play for this club,” he told Tottenham’s website.
“It’s been a long journey in my career so far, it’s been hard at times but it’s been good as well, and I’ve been working hard to get to where I am now.“As a kid, you watch it from when you’re young, so it was a target of mine and I’ve finally reached it, so I’m happy. “In the Premier League you have high-intensity, good technical players – it will be hard but I think I’m ready for the challenge.”
