Club CEO strongly hints they will trigger option to buy Tottenham player in summer – Already wanted him last year.
Djed Spence was sent to Genoa on loan for the remainder of the season as part of the transaction that sent Radu Dragusin to Tottenham. The 23-year-old’s contract also includes a buyout option, raising the possibility that he may choose to remain in Italy for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, in a Tuesday interview with La Repubblica and Gazzetta dello Sport, Genoa’s CEO, Andres Blazquez, revealed that the club is already thinking about permanently signing the Tottenham right-back.
First asked by the former of the two newspapers about the movements that took place in January, the director recalled this wasn’t the first time they were after the defender, having to initially see him shipped off to Leeds.
He said: “Then came Vitina, who has an important contract and is a ready player, and Spence, who we looked for in the summer, but who had a prohibitive cost and I believe he will give us satisfaction.”
That shows just how much Genoa wanted Spence, who clearly wasn’t just a pawn used by Tottenham to facilitate the transfer of Dragusin.
Furthermore,Blazquez provided a contrasting remark to Gazzetta dello Sport regarding Spence, stating: “He can be an important acquisition for the future.” We’re not sure what else may be a strong indication of a potential purchase if that one.
