Inter Milan are on the verge of signing Djed Spence from Tottenham (Picture: Getty) Djed Spence is edging closer to leaving Tottenham for Inter Milan, according to reports in Italy. Spence struggled to live up to expectations at Tottenham after joining from Middlesbrough back in 2022, having helped Nottingham Forest win promotion to the Premier League during an outstanding loan spell at the City Ground. After three separate loans with Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, though, Spence enjoyed something of a resurgence at Spurs last season, earning himself a place in England’s World Cup squad. Spence emerged from the tournament as one of the Three Lions’ unlikely stars after working his way into Thomas Tuchel’s starting XI in the midst of an injury crisis at full-back.

But Tottenham’s hierarchy were unmoved and made it clear they were open to offers for Spence at the start of the summer transfer window, meaning the versatile 26-year-old returned to north London with his club future up in the air. Reports last week indicated both Manchester United and Liverpool had been offered the chance to sign Spence before the transfer deadline. However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have muscled themselves into pole position for Spence and the England international is said to be ‘on his way’ to the San Siro. Spurs are ready to sell Spence for a fee of £25.6m (Picture: Getty) The versatile full-back was one of England’s breakout stars at the World Cup (Picture: Getty) It’s claimed the relevant parties have come close to reaching an agreement ‘in the last few hours’ over a move expected to be worth in the region of €30million (£25.6m) plus bonuses. The report adds that Spence will be brought in as Denzel Dumphries’ long-term successor in Milan ‘barring any unexpected developments’. Spence is set to follow in the footsteps of international colleague John Stones, who departed Manchester City to join the Serie A giants on a free transfer last month. Given their grueling summer with England, neither player is expected to be ready in time for Inter’s opening match of the Italian top-flight season at home to Monza on August 22. De Zerbi’s side begin the Premier League season away to Brentford (Picture: Getty) Tottenham had initially slapped a £35m price tag on Spence but ultimately decided to relax their demands in order to remove the defender from their wage bill. Spence is likely to put pen to paper on a four-year contract with Inter and the impending move could pave the way for Luis Enrique to complete a switch to Roma. Inter have been forced to drop their pursuit of Tottenham defender Cristian Romero but remain interested in a deal for Liverpool and England midfielder Curtis Jones. As one of Tottenham’s many World Cup participants, Spence was not included in Roberto De Zerbi’s touring party to New Zealand and Australia for the club’s pre-season matches against Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea. Spurs continue their busy pre-season schedule with a friendly against Hoffenheim at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend before kicking off their Premier League campaign away to London rivals Brentford on August 22.

It’s now just ten days until the start of the new Premier League season, so who are the favourites for the 2026/27 Premier League title race? It was a close race last season that ultimately saw Arsenal come out on top and win their first title in 22 years, so they’ll surely be the favourites […] The post Premier League title favourites: Will it be Arsenal vs Man City again or can Liverpool bounce back? appeared first on CaughtOffside.
After the season started with an EFL Cup defeat by Middlesbrough, we asked Wrexham fans about their hopes for the season and what Phil Parkinson needs to add before the Championship season which opens at Cardiff City on Monday. Fans should be excited and more optimistic about challenging for automatic promotion to the Premier League than last year. Peter: Wrexham played a faster game with more accuracy in their passing against Middlesbrough, a great improvement on last year.
Unfortunate not to have gone into nine minutes added on time (where did that come from?!) only one goal up against a League One team and more than held their own against AS Roma, a Serie A team. If they add a couple of sensible defensive and midfield additions in the next couple of weeks, play-offs may be a distinct possibility. Hayden Mullins is showing a positive approach to how County set themselves up.
Mikel Arteta is still making plans to tinker with his Arsenal squad before the transfer deadline (Picture: Getty) Arsenal could be tempted into selling Myles Lewis-Skelly to Premier League rivals Chelsea. The Hale End Academy graduate appeared to have salvaged his Gunners career when he was thrust back into the starting XI during last season’s run-in. After his breakthrough campaign the season before, the versatile midfielder found himself firmly on the periphery following the arrival of Martin Zubimendi. With Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori preferred in the left-back role that Lewis-Skelly appeared to have made his own, the 19-year-old was forced to settle for a bit-part role for the majority of last term. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Zubimendi’s loss of form, however, prompted Mikel Arteta to thrust Lewis-Skelly back into the limelight with just six games remaining and the England international thrived in his preferred position. Despite a series of outstanding displays, culminated in a polished performance in the Champions League final, Lewis-Skelly’s position is again under threat. Arsenal’s successful pursuit of Bruno Guimaraes means Arteta now has the Brazil international, Declan Rice, Zubimendi and his Spanish World Cup winning teammate Mikel Merino to call upon. Myles Lewis-Skelly could be on the move this summer (Picture: Getty) Ethan Nwaneri, meanwhile, has impressed during pre-season alongside another gem coming off the Arsenal production line in Ife Ibrahim. As a consequence, Arsenal, according to football.london, have alerted Chelsea to Lewis-Skelly’s potential availability. The Blues are yet to indicate whether or not they will make a move but they were last week linked with further midfield reinforcements with Zubimendi said to be on their radar. Chelsea’s stance could well depend on whether or not captain Enzo Fernandez remains at the club and the current indications are that he intends to stay put, despite interest from Manchester City. Myles Lewis-Skelly has been offered to Chelsea (Picture: Getty) Manchester United, meanwhile, were linked with Lewis-Skelly earlier in the window and they are still on the lookout for a left-sided defender. Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall remains their No.1 target but they could renew their interest in the Arsenal star if it becomes clear his future lies elsewhere. And with Arsenal still requiring a left-sided forward, club legend Lee Dixon envisages a scenario whereby a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford could suit all parties. Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona (Picture: Getty) ‘Would I swap them? You know what, I probably would,’ the ex-Arsenal and England full-back told BestBettingSites. ‘That’s nothing against Myles Lewis-Skelly; it’s about giving him the freedom to go and expand his game elsewhere.‘With Marcus Rashford, he’s a player who needs an arm around his shoulder, and Arteta would be great for him. ‘Give him that love, give him the freedom to play on that left side, and yeah, I’d like to see him in an Arsenal shirt.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source

Manchester City continue to admire Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, but any attempt to take the Argentina international away from Stamford Bridge would require an enormous financial commitment.

Mykhailo Mudryk is back available for Chelsea (Picture: Reuters) Mykhailo Mudryk has made his transfer preference clear after Chelsea reportedly ruled out selling the winger this summer. Mudryk was unavailable to play for almost two years after he was suspended for returning an ‘adverse finding’ for the banned substance meldonium. However, the Ukrainian has now been cleared to play again after resolving his doping case with the Football Association. Mudryk subsequently joined up with Chelsea’s pre-season tour, making three brief cameo appearances off the bench against Juventus, AC Milan and Johor Darul Ta’zim. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. However, after nearly two seasons without a first-team appearance, it appears likely that the 25-year-old will go out on loan to get regular minutes and demonstrate his level after such a long lay-off. Widespread reports indicate that Chelsea are not considering a sale for Mudryk this summer, with several clubs across Europe interested in a loan for the winger. Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg are interested in a deal for Mudryk after already securing the loan signing of goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen. Mykhailo Mudryk has featured in pre-season (Picture: AP) But Fabrizio Romano reports that Mudryk would prefer to remain in the Premier League next season if Chelsea do reach an agreement to send him out on loan. Frank Lampard’s Coventry City have been linked with a move for Mudryk as the former Chelsea boss looks to add firepower to his squad ahead of their Premier League return. Speaking last week about Mudryk’s Chelsea future, Xabi Alonso said: ‘Everything has happened so quick, so the main thing is thinking about the person, to feel that he was back in the group dynamic, part of a team, and we need to assess [how he is doing]. Mudryk is set to leave Chelsea on loan before deadline day (Picture: Getty) ‘But for sure, he’s a special player. It’s a special case with him, so we need to be sensitive.’ Meanwhile, Chelsea teammate Tosin Adarabioyo was full of praise for Mudryk’s attitude during his 20-month absence, saying of the Ukrainian: ‘Misha is a freak. His work rate is unbelievable. There is no doubt he has been working hard throughout this whole time. ‘I know he has been doing sessions away. I have seen him. I know the guys he has been working with, so it’s good. ‘Misha is my guy. I have kept in contact with him throughout and it is really nice to have him back. I am really happy for him. ‘You can see he is just really happy to be around and back in the environment. It is obviously going to take him some time, but we are all here to support him.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.
