New Tottenham signing Djed Spence has depicted the move as "a blessing from heaven" and demands he is prepared to work under Antonio Conte.

The England Under-21 international assisted Nottingham Forest with bringing home advancement through the Championship end-of-the-season games while on loan last season and says he will expect to engage and energize the Spurs allies.
"To play in the Premier League and at a big club like Tottenham Hotspur is a blessing from heaven," Spence told the club's official site. "I'm simply grateful I am here and I have the chance to play for the club. Everybody needs to play in the Premier League, as a youngster you watch it.
"It's a major club, Champions League football and clearly you have a portion of the huge players that [already] play here so it's an honor to be here.
"Last year we won promotion with Nottingham Forest, it was only an extraordinary season for me, the stuff of dreams, as a matter of fact.
"I'll bring energy, ability, and speed, I simply need to energize the fans and play well.
"I can hardly hold back to meet the players, clearly the staff and the chief, and train with everybody and gel with the group."
Spence got through the positions at Fulham where he was in a similar age bunch as Tottenham's Ryan Sessegnon, with whom he could shape an organization at wing-back in north London.
Spence was delivered by the Cottagers as a young person prior to joining 'Boro in July 2018 and breaking into their most memorable group a year and a half later.
"I got through the positions at Fulham [with Sessegnon], from Under-12 to - 16," he added.
"He went into the first team quite early in life, and clearly his profession has gone very well up until this point. He said simply be ready to buckle down. I'm prepared!
"I'm an exceptionally chilled character, extremely modest. Everything is about football for me, I simply devote what seems like forever to it. Nothing else: just football, football, football."
