Tottenham defender Djed Spence has joined Leeds United on a season-long loan.
Spence could make his Leeds debut at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
The 23-year-old has struggled for game time at Tottenham after his exceptional 2021-22 campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest from Middlesbrough prompted Spurs and then-manager Antonio Conte to shell out £20m to secure his services.
In his debut season at Tottenham Spence made just six appearances and spent the second half of the campaign on loan in Ligue 1 with Rennes, where he endured a similarly disappointing spell.
A return to the second-tier with Daniel Farke's side could see the attacking full-back enjoy a return to form.

Leeds were eager to bolster their options at full-back following their relegation from the Premier League, despite keeping hold of Junior Firpo and Luke Ayling and adding former Norwich star Sam Byram on a free transfer this summer.
Spurs are set to receive a £1million loan fee and have resisted including any form of buy option in the deal.
Leeds hope Spence will help improve a leaky defence that has been breached seven times in just four matches.
Farke's side edged out an enthralling 4-3 draw away at Ipswich last weekend.
The team sit 13th after a mixed start to the Championship season, winning and losing once and drawing twice so far.
