Spurs have no plans to let Spence leave permanently. So it would appear that they will only listen to offers which involve a straight loan.

It is an encouraging sign for Spence’s future in North London. He may have been aware that he would probably need to be patient when he joined in the summer.

However, he would have hardly expected to play so little so far this season. So he would be forgiven for having doubts over what his long-term future holds with Tottenham.

But Spurs obviously see Spence being a success with them. They paid for the defender in the summer. And he has previously been described as an ‘‘ player.

It looks likely that he will leave before next week’s deadline. However, it looks a certainty that he will be in Tottenham’s squad heading into next season.
