The English international touched down in Italy late Thursday ahead of his Friday medical with Serie A giants Inter. The two clubs have finalised a deal worth an initial €31.5 million, with performance-related bonuses set to push the total to €35 million. Tottenham have also retained a 10% sell-on clause, while personal terms were agreed without delay. This concludes a four-year stint in North London for the versatile defender.

Local media and passionate supporters greeted the 26-year-old at Milan airport as he touched down ahead of his transfer. His World Cup 2026 performances for England, including a key role in their third-place finish, have cemented his reputation as a top-tier talent. Inter were quick to act, seeking a replacement for Denzel Dumfries, who joined Real Madrid in early July.

Spence departs after making 85 senior appearances and winning the Europa League. With Pedro Porro and Andy Robertson securing key roles, first-team opportunities were scarce. New manager Roberto De Zerbi sanctioned his departure as Spurs narrowly avoided relegation last season.

Friday’s medical marks the final hurdle before Spence’s official unveiling at San Siro. His move completes his second spell in Italian football, following a six-month loan at Genoa in 2024, where he gained invaluable experience of Serie A’s tactical demands.
