I think his run-up until this point has been incredible. Obviously, he had that falling out with Warnock, then went to Forest and was brilliant.“Then Tottenham signed him, but Conte didn’t sign him. It was a club signing and got sent out on loan, then he came back and he’s been given an opportunity and has never looked back.“He looked brilliant. He completely wrapped up Brennan Johnson, who didn’t want any part of that game whatsoever, and he’s getting better and better. So I’m going for Djed Spence.”Spence is now getting the recognition he deservesIt is now widely acknowledged that Spence is one of the best one-v-one defenders in the Premier League, now that he is performing at the big stage.Spence has got rave reviews from the media after his performances for England, and barring an injury, it seems certain that he will be on the plane to the United States next summer.However, the Spurs full-back cannot rest on his laurels as Destiny Udogie has impressed since returning from injury, and the Italian will push the England international closely as Tottenham’s season enters a critical phase.READ MORE: James Maddison claims he is better than Man United star and one England teammateThe post Darren Bent picks Tottenham defender as his ‘brilliant’ stand-out star this season appeared first on Spurs Web.
