Ange Postecoglou has ignored me this season – but I’m ready to prove him wrong at Tottenham

One of Tottenham Hotspur’s outcasts has been speaking about his ambition to work his way into the team and win trophies with the club.

Spurs have made a mixed start to the new campaign having produced several sluggish performances in the Premier League with four defeats in nine, but in the cup competitions, they have a perfect record.

Ange Postecoglou’s side defeated Manchester City in the Carabao Cup round of 16 to set up a quarter-final tie at home to Manchester United. Meanwhile, in the Europa League, they have won three from three and are on course to qualify for the knockout stages.

Now, one of their players has been discussing the possibility of winning a cup this term despite being given limited minutes so far.

Djed Spence cried when he signed for Tottenham

Djed Spence has revealed that he cried when he signed for such a big club like Tottenham and still has big ambitions to succeed in N17.

It’s been a tricky two years at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Spence to say the least with the defender having made just ten appearances during that time.

He was signed by Tottenham for Antonio Conte who made it clear that he didn’t fancy him and under Postecoglou, he has again struggled for game time. Spence was left out of Spurs’ Europa League squad back in September.

Spence told Tottenham Hotspur: “I cried when I first heard the news that I was going to sign for the Club. The journey is never easy, so when you get to a big stage in your career when you’re signing for a club of the size of Tottenham, it felt like all the hard work to get to that point had paid off but I was very emotional with tears of joy.”

Over pre-season, Spence knuckled down and showed great signs of improvement which seemed to impress Postecoglou.

The Australian manager has since spoken fondly of the 24-year-old and suggested he is ready to hand him more game time. Injuries have hampered his campaign so far but he has shown to be a really useful asset when he’s featured.

“To summarise my time here, it’s been difficult, but I’m by no means finished and I feel like the best is yet to come,” Spence added.

“My ambition is to win something, of course. That’s the team’s goal, that’s the manager’s goal so I want to win something here. It could be Carabao Cup, Premier League, FA Cup or Europa League, you never say no to anything, and as long as you’re in the competition you always have a chance of winning.”
