Eric Dier and Jeremy Doku are among those to have sent well wishes to Djed Spence after his move to Leeds United.
Spence uploaded his first post to Instagram after sealing his switch to Elland Road on Wednesday morning on a season-long-loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
The 23-year-old represents a significant coup for Leeds, particularly if he is able to reach the heights of his loan spell at Nottingham Forest in the Championship back in the 2021/22 campaign.
Spurs paid £20 million to sign him from Middlesbrough last summer but Spence has not been handed enough opportunities to show what he can do in the Premier League.
As such, Ange Postecoglou did not see him as part of his immediate plans at Spurs and loaned him out to ensure he gets the game time he deserves.
Doku, Dier, Garner react to Spence’s Leeds arrival
This is the second time already Spence has left Spurs on loan, having spent the second half of last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Rennes.
It is at Rennes where he played with new big money Manchester City signing Doku, while Dier is of course a teammate at his parent club. He played alongside James Garner at Forest.
Spence will be hoping to make his Leeds debut when they take on Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road on Saturday in the final game before the international break.
He will be looking to dislodge Luke Ayling from that right-back spot who has started every game, though given Spence’s recent lack of minutes, it feels unlikely he will be thrown straight in.
Either way, Spence is an excellent signing for Leeds and once he does come into the team, his pace and quality will make a huge difference.
