Kyle Walker namedrops resurgent Tottenham star who should be playing for England

Tottenham star Djed Spence has revived his career under Ange Postecoglou this season

Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence has been in scintillating form this season. The 24-year-old has been one of the standout players for Ange Postecoglou and has certainly revived his career at N17. No one would have seen this coming at the start of the season but all the credit goes to the Spurs full-back for working hard and taking his opportunity.

There have been several Tottenham players who have underperformed this season. The Lilywhites sit in bthe ottom half of the Premier League and have found it tough to get a string of consistent results. But amidst the inconsistency, Djed Spence has been a consistent performer for the club.

The ex-Nottingham Forest defender took his chance at the end of last year after Pedro Porro was not performing well. Ange Postecoglou decided to give Spence a chance, and the 24-year-old grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Now it looks like the Spurs No.24 is the first name on the team-sheet come gameday and is relied upon heavily by the manager and the players.

Tottenham star Djed Soence receives praise from Kyle Walker

Djed Spence has been in marvellous form this season,n and the whole of England is taking notice. The 24-year-old has not put a foot wrong since getting reintegrated into the squad by Ange Postecoglou and was perhaps unlucky not to get an England call-up in the last international break.

Now, England stalwart Kyle Walker has come out and praised the talented full-back. Talking to TBR Football, Walker said,

“Some people are forward, but I think this season especially, he’s played out of position at times with Tottenham’s, you know, injury crisis. And he’s kind of, yeah, he’s just took it in his stride. And I seen him actually play at Nottingham Forest. And I thought this, you know, this one’s going to be a good one.”

The AC Milan defender added,

“But I think that he’s doing fantastically well this season, probably unlucky not to get a senior call up to the England team. But if he was there, probably have took my space. So just hold off for, you know, five more games.”

Kyle Walker seemed to be impressed with the way Djed Spence has taken his chance and is showcasing his ability consistently now. The AC Milan full-back also said that Spence was unlucky not to get called up to the England squad and would have replaced Walker himself if he was called up.
