Djed Spence has laughed off claims that an Arsenal star could beat him in a one-vs-one battle on the field.

Full back Spence has enjoyed a meteoric rise in north London recently, taking advantage of Spurs' injury problems this season to earn himself a regular spot in his side's starting XI.

It has come as a surprise to many, with the full back's Spurs career almost over before it started after he was branded a 'club signing' by former boss Antonio Conte, suggesting he didn't want him at the club.

While contracted to Tottenham, the 24-year-old has spent time on loan at Rennes, Leeds and Genoa, and it seemed a matter of when rather than if he would leave the club.
