Eric Dier's message to Djed Spence ahead of World Cup 2026...
“Just to enjoy it - I've already told him to! We were together at the club for a while and we stay in touch. I spoke to him a couple of days ago.
“It will be one of the best experiences he's going to have in his career and, hopefully, he’ll have more. I think Djed has fantastic individual characteristics, some of them physical, some of them technical and some of them mental.
“I'm excited to see him with the new manager at Spurs next season. I think he has fantastic attributes. He just needs to keep working hard and stay calm. He has fantastic abilities and I like him, too. I feel like he had a tough time, you know, for a while and he showed real resilience to get through that.”

🗣️ | Martin Brundle on Kimi Antonelli:
"You can be in no doubt you are looking at a generational talent in Formula 1.
He really was in a class of one around the Principality, with pole position, fastest lap, and leading every lap. He's just getting better and better."

Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall on not playing very much under De Zerbi, talking to Fotbollskanalen...
“I trust that he will field the best team to win the matches. I’m glad we made it. It’s been a tough season for me and the team, with injuries and so on. It’s nice to turn the page and focus on the World Cup.”
“He’s done well [De Zerbi]. He’s one of the reasons we’re still in the league. It’s clear that he’ll stay. It was only a few games [been the on bench].
Lucas Bergvall when asked about his Tottenham future...
“It’s not something I’m focusing on right now. It’s been a tough season, as I said. But now the focus is on the World Cup and being here.”

Djed Spence on playing for England and "a difficult season" at Spurs...
“It shows the manager believes in me, believes in my quality and I’m thankful for him and I just want to keep on putting in the performances to make everyone happy.
“It’s a huge honour, to play for your country is a big thing and I’m over the moon and happy to be here.
“It’s been a difficult season. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel and we managed to get out of a difficult situation so we have to move forward. Like I said, focus on this World Cup and hopefully it will be a good one.”

Djed Spence on playing on and right and on the left...
“Obviously I’m naturally a right back but I’ve been playing left back for a couple of years now so I’m still learning the position, still trying to get better but versatility is a good strength to have.
“I haven’t played on the right for a long time but it’s still a strong position for me and hopefully I might be out there on the right in this tournament but if not then I’m happy to be there on the left.
“It is my position now on the left so I just have to practice more and there are things to perfect and hopefully produce more assists like that one for the rest of the tournament.
“Everyone knows how good I am one v one, but going forward is a bit different playing on the left because it’s not my natural side going forward. There’s still stuff I can improve on and I’ve got to try and get more numbers in attack.”
