Spence struggled for game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last season and was eventually sent out on loan to play for Ligue 1 side Rennes in January. There, he only managed to pick up ten appearances in all competitions.

Besides those up for sale, Davinson Sanchez and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg are reportedly available for the right price. Tottenham have already gotten rid of Harry Winks, Lucas Moura and Tom Bloxham with more set to follow.

“It is not something I am involved in. I will deal with what’s in front of me and I think we’ll see some movement out over the next few weeks. We’ve obviously got a bit of time before the end of the transfer window.”
