Spence completes Inter move as Serie A raids Premier League

England full-back Djed Spence has completed a move to Inter Milan, signing a five-year deal with the Serie A champions, according to the BBC. The transfer sees the 25-year-old leave Tottenham Hotspur for Italy, where he will join Ruben Amorim's AC Milan's cross-city rivals in a significant summer of movement between the Premier League and Serie A.

The BBC reported the deal on Saturday, noting Spence makes the switch to Italy after a spell in north London. The transfer is part of a broader pattern this window, with the Guardian's transfer roundup also highlighting Aston Villa's move for Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma, as Italian clubs continue to feature prominently in Europe's transfer market.

For Serie A, Spence's arrival represents a coup: a player with England international pedigree choosing Milan over a Premier League stay. It follows a trend of high-profile moves into Italian football, with the league's clubs increasingly competitive in attracting talent from England's top flight.
