The Times reported last month the North London club might loan out the England Under-21 international in January in order to get him some regular game time in the second half of the season.

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold revealed last week that the right-back is expected to get opportunities during the behind-closed-door friendlies that Spurs will play leading up to the resumption of the Premier League season.

Romano has now explained that despite Spence’s lack of game time, Tottenham are very much convinced that the youngster can become a key player for the club in the future.

The journalist told Caught Offside: “There’s already speculation about Djed Spence’s future after a difficult start at Tottenham.

“My understanding is that Spence is not playing because Antonio Conte wants experienced players and Spence is considered a talent for the future. Tottenham were always the frontrunners in the summer and they are convinced he’s going to be a great investment for the future of the club.

“In terms of a January loan, no decision has been made yet; we will see what happens when Conte meets the board and decides the next steps."

Ten Hag, who  revealed  he is relishing a busy fixture schedule, said he is indeed taking a 'risk' with Casemiro's fitness but that is no different to his other key players. "[Casemiro] is important but in top football there's a risk and we know that," Ten Hag said. "We know players get injured and you can't avoid it. Of course, if you want to be successful in the season you need your key players on board and that's definitely the tr

But Campos insists that PSG are working to tie Messi down to a new contract and talks are ongoing. "At the moment, we are in discussions with Messi for his extension. I would like to keep him in this project, I can’t hide it," Campos told  Telefoot . "We are talking at the moment to achieve this goal, and continue to have him with us."
