Djed Spence raises questions over Tottenham future as he blacks out Instagram account

Djed Spence has followed Jadon Sancho in blacking out his Instagram account, with the wing-back removing all mentions of Tottenham as uncertainty continues over his future.

The 22-year-old has left one post on his account, featuring two photos of him playing for the England Under-21s in June.

Spence’s profile previously included a handful of photos of himself turning out for Antonio Conte’s Tottenham, so the changes will raise questions about his future at Tottenham after struggling to gain regular minutes.

Djed Spence has blacked out his Instagram profile and deleted posts – raising doubts about his future at Tottenham

The wing-back has seen limited first team action since joining Tottenham in the summer

The wing-back follows Sancho in blacking out his profile, with the Manchester United winger causing confusion last week by deleting posts.

Sancho was a high-profile absentee from Gareth Southgate England’s World Cup squad earlier this month.

Neither Sancho nor Spence have explained why they have removed their posts from the platform. Both players have kept their posts on Twitter.

Spence arrived in north London in the summer for £20m from Championship side Middlesbrough, signing a five-year deal after excelling on loan at Nottingham Forest last season.

Spence played a key role as Steve Cooper’s side secured promotion to the top flight via the play-offs – with the wing-back rewarded for his displays with a place in the EFL Championship Team of the Season.

This season, however, the summer signing has found himself behind Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty in the pecking order at Spurs, making only three Premier League appearances late on as a substitute.

Spurs boss Antonio Conte has resisted supporter pressure to play Spence, with the Italian regularly placing his faith in Emerson, despite a series of mixed showings from the Brazilian. 

Conte had described Spence as a ‘club signing’ shortly after his arrival, while assistant coach Cristian Stellini suggested this month that he needed time to adapt after making the step up from the Championship.

The England under-21 international has made four appearances for Spurs as a substitute

Stellini’s comment came prior to Spence featuring as a 65th minute substitute against his former side, as Spurs fell to a 2-0 defeat in the Carabao Cup.

Spence was applauded onto the pitch at the City Ground, with the home support recognising his contribution to their promotion to the top flight.

Speculation has persisted that Spence could make a January loan move in search of first team action.
