Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou believes England hopeful Djed Spence is playing as well as any full-back in the Premier League but has urged the "laid-back" defender not to settle for his current level.

Ange Postecoglou has backed Tottenham full-back Djed Spence to earn a maiden England call-up next month.Spence has been a major positive for Spurs across a difficult winter period with 12 starts since the middle of December.

Tottenham fans will be praying that the bookmakers are indeed right when it comes to the team that holds aloft the Europa League trophy in Bilbao come May. Ange Postecoglou's side are currently the favourites to triumph in the final at San Mames Stadium on Wednesday,

Two cup exits have left Tottenham staring at the prospect of another trophyless season and Ange Postecoglou facing perhaps his biggest crisis at the club.

One such player is Archie Gray, who has earned Postecoglou’s confidence due to his versatility. Another example is Yang Min-Hyeok, the South Korean currently on loan at QPR and, among the many young talents shining in Postecoglou’s squad is Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall.
