Tottenham supporters are of one mind after Djed Spence turned in another eye-catching cameo for England at the 2026 World Cup, with many convinced his price tag has jumped as a result.
Spence’s rise over the last two seasons has been one of the club’s standout stories — from being deemed surplus to requirements to fighting his way back into De Zerbi’s plans through sheer graft and form. Coming off the bench in England’s 2-1 extra-time win over Norway, he made an impact at both ends, running the flank offensively and defending diligently, underlining why Thomas Tuchel keeps calling on him. His numbers backed it up: 12 of 14 passes completed, a shot on target, three touches in the box, a successful dribble, seven defensive actions including two tackles and four clearances, plus strong duel numbers both on the ground and in the air.
That display sent Spurs fans to social media in agreement — the £25m figure Everton are said to value him at is now seen as outdated, with many arguing he’s worth double that. Jokes about Everton’s valuation circulated widely, alongside calls for Tottenham to hold out for £50m or more, with some fans suggesting the club shouldn’t even entertain lower offers.
The standout moment came when one of his trademark bursts down the flank unsettled Norway’s defence and helped win England a crucial penalty — a moment fans seized on as further proof of his growing threat. Even some Everton fans reportedly conceded his performances were becoming a headache, since every good game pushes any transfer fee higher.
There’s also a broader sense among supporters that Spurs have no incentive to sell. With De Zerbi’s side facing a packed fixture list across competitions, a versatile player comfortable on either side holds real value, and Spence ticks that box. His comeback story — fighting from the fringes back into contention — has also won him respect for his mentality and professionalism, qualities that fit what De Zerbi wants from his squad.
Each World Cup outing seems to be adding to his stock — growing confidence, growing standing with England, and, in the eyes of Spurs fans, a growing price. Any club hoping to land him for around £25m may need to reconsider.
After another strong cameo on the world stage, the consensus among Tottenham fans is straightforward: Djed Spence’s value is only heading in one direction.
