The conservative back finished a clinical at Hotspur Way on Friday after Spurs concurred an arrangement that will see them pay an underlying £12.5m, with a further £7.5m coming in execution related additional items.
The 21-year-old showed up borrowed for Nottingham Forest last season and there was an opportunity he could have joined Steve Cooper's side on an extremely durable arrangement this late spring.
However, Spence has turned into Spurs' 6th significant marking of the time, following the appearances of Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and loanee Clement Lenglet.
Spikes truly are building something
"Tottenham fans should think, 'what is happening in this move window' on the grounds that typically they're accustomed to holding on until the last week or cutoff time day to finish their signings.
"However, there has been a genuine push from Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici to say, 'we need to finish our business early, we're currently in the Champions League and an unexpected market in comparison to we were in previously'.
"At the point when you take a gander at the six signings they've made, this is transforming into Conte and Paratici's Tottenham. Marking a player like Ivan Perisic is a marking Conte would've pushed for, Fraser Forster is cover for Hugo Lloris.

How did Spence passage in the Championship last prepare?
By the beginning of last season, Djed Spence had proactively set to deal with securing himself as a backbone of the Middlesbrough group. He had shown up before the age of 21 and was intriguing en route.
However at that point, apparently out of nowhere, he was sent out borrowed to divisional opponents Nottingham Forest, with Isaiah Jones leaned toward at conservative back by then-Boro supervisor Neil Warnock. It was at the City Ground he became hot property.
He wowed Reds fans with his going after plan rankling pace, crossing skill and propensity for a shot from distance - he came out on top for Sky Bet Championship Goal of the Month in March - yet in addition demonstrated he is certainly not a tired old act for certain great protective appearances, as well - for setting, Forest kept 17 clean sheets in the 39 association games he played, barring end of the season games.
It was during the race to the FA Cup quarter-finals that he started to provoke the curiosity of a few Premier League groups, however, with Arsenal and Spurs among those said to be intrigued at that point.
There is, obviously, a lot of opportunity to get better given his age, yet it must be said the credit spell could never have worked out far superior to it did. He broke into the England U21 set up as an immediate result, as well.
Directly following Forest's play-off conclusive win over Huddersfield in May, Spence tweeted Warnock a photograph of himself in the Wembley evolving room, a stogie in his mouth, a scarf folded over his head the prize at his feet, apparently pointing a dig at his previous director.
"All around good, Djed - I said you were Premier League or non-association," he answered. "Happy you tuned in and accepted my recommendation on board presently proceed to partake in your prosperity."
Something that began as vocation guidance has turned into a reality, as Spence is set to begin 2022/23 as a Premier League player.
