Chelsea considers move for Tottenham full-back Djed Spence this summer

Summary

Andy Townsend has recommended Chelsea pursue Tottenham Hotspur full-back Djed Spence during the current transfer window. Spence, who had a strong season with Spurs, made 30 league appearances but did not contribute goals or assists. Townsend expressed uncertainty about Spence's transfer cost but estimated around £40 million reasonable. Spence's contract at Tottenham runs until the summer of 2029, complicating a potential deal for Chelsea.
