Tottenham opts against new right-back after Djed Spence's Inter Milan transfer
Summary

Tottenham Hotspur will not pursue a new right-back this summer following Djed Spence's impending transfer to Inter Milan for €35 million. Sources indicate that the club has identified other transfer priorities, placing their confidence in Archie Gray to cover for Pedro Porro. Gray, who made a €41.3 million move from Leeds United in 2024, has experience playing in multiple positions, including right-back. Additionally, Tottenham has other internal options like Tye Hall, an academy graduate, who impressed during pre-season. Tottenham aims to conserve funds for attacking targets, particularly pursuing players like Cody Gakpo and Savinho before the transfer deadline.
