Cristian Stellini says Spence has ‘incredible physicality’, but his attitude upset Ange Postecoglou

[mawspurs]

The Italian claimed Spence is a great talent who possesses fantastic speed, explosiveness and physicality, but he still has a lot of room for improvement, especially in attack.

Stellini said: “Spence is a very polite boy, very reserved. I would define him as very calm, with great explosiveness and great speed. The English league has a lot of these types of very physical talents.

“He is a 23-year-old boy who has a lot of room for improvement, especially in the final phase of the action: both in finishing and in making assists. He definitely has to grow up, otherwise he wouldn’t be so young.

“But he is a player with incredible physicality and great technical ability to play tight. Both from a standstill and at speed he can become dangerous. In the past, he made a leap in category a little too high, in the sense that he won a Serie B championship with Nottingham Forrest and found himself at Tottenham, in a very strong team.

“Genoa is a good opportunity for him and to demonstrate his talent.”

At least his comments provide some balance to all the other stuff in the media that ONLY seem to focus on his attitude.

His biggest problem may only be immaturity. To a confident coach, he may appear as a challenge that has a high reward at the end. One manager already got him playing well and it's likely his maturity will improve so why not?

He should be a risk worth taking for some. Look at Marcus Edwards.
