      But boss Antonio Conte made clear it was a deal struck by the club and not one he was demanding.
      And since then England U21 international Spence has been restricted to just six appearances off the bench for Spurs.
      A host of clubs, including Leicester, Brentford and Crystal Palace are all keen on a loan deal this month.
      But we exclusively revealed how his exit was being held up due to Spurs’ refusal to include an option to buy.

      Spurs do not want to risk losing Spence for good at the end of the season, especially with Conte’s future in doubt.
      And chief Daniel Levy is not currently entertaining permanent deals or any loan offers with an option or obligation to buy.
      That has caused negotiations to drag, but now there seems to have been a breakthrough regarding the ex-Fulham trainee.
      However, now Sky Sports News are claiming that Spence “is set to join Stade Rennais on loan for the remainder of the season”.

      He joined the Naples outfit in the summer of 2022 after the club agreed a £15.8million fee with Turkish club Fenerbache.
      But things could have been very different for the 26-year-old, as Roma boss Mourinho revealed he wanted to sign him when he was at Spurs.

      He said: “I wanted to sign Kim Min-jae when I was at Tottenham.

      “Now look at Kim and his level, he’s a top player”.
      The comments have peaked the interest of fans who have all been left saying the same thing.
      Mourinho seems to have got his dates muddled as he had been sacked and appointed as manager of Roma before Min-jea joined Fenerbache.

      A third commented: “Kim moved to Fenerbahce 4 months after Mourinho was fired by Spurs.”
      A fourth said: “But wasn’t Kim at Beijing?”
      A fifth added: “Didn’t Fenerbahce sign Kim Min-jae after Jose got sacked at Spurs?”
      Mourinho may have muddled up Fenerbahce with his former side Beijing Guoan, as the club had been linked with a move for the defender before he had been sacked. More

      Spurs are exploring a deal for Hincapie but will be unwilling to match Bayer Leverkusen’s £80million valuation.
      Boss Antonio Conte wants a new defender in this window to beef up a struggling defence.

      And Hincapie could reportedly be snapped up for £20m this month before being loaned back to Leverkusen until the end of the season, in a deal similar to that of Pape Matar Sarr.
