Tottenham appears on the verge of finalizing the acquisition of Radu Dragusin from Genoa, and a swap element adds complexity to this agreement.

Djed Spence, indeed, is slated to embark on a loan move in the opposite direction, potentially evolving into a permanent switch come summer.

As per insights from Fabrizio Romano, this arrangement encompasses a buy option, albeit not the most favorable for Spurs.

A mere 18 months after shelling out £15 million for Djed Spence, Tottenham has brokered a deal that might see him exit for just €8 million (£6 million).

The paltry sum for Spence underscores the regrettable nature of this signing for Tottenham.

The defender scarcely saw the pitch under Antonio Conte’s tenure, swiftly finding himself loaned out to Leeds by Ange Postecoglou.

However, his stint at Leeds mirrored a similar narrative: minimal playtime culminating in an early return, indicating Tottenham’s readiness to part ways with the player.

This unraveling situation is disappointing considering Spence’s former promise.

During a season-long loan stint at Nottingham Forest, Spence emerged as one of the standout performers in the Championship, prompting Tottenham’s hefty £15 million investment.

Unfortunately, since then, his on-field contributions have been lackluster, prompting Spurs to prepare for a substantial loss on the investment.

Daniel Levy typically shies away from offloading players at a loss, rendering Spence’s imminent departure for such a fee a telling sign of his diminished standing at Tottenham.

Irrespective of whether Genoa exercises the buy option, Spence’s prospects for a revival in North London seem bleak, potentially signaling the end of his tenure at the club.

Hopefully, Spence can rejuvenate his career in Italy, given the challenging 18 months he’s endured.
