Tottenham Hotspur star Djed Spence is with the England squad, and Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett has hinted at frosty tensions once the selected Arsenal stars arrive in Miami for training camp.

The Three Lions have travelled to America to begin their training camp for the upcoming friendlies against New Zealand and Costa Rica before the World Cup stars later this summer.

Spurs star Spence has been named in Thomas Tuchel’s squad for this year’s World Cup, and it was an interesting end to the season for his club and their arch nemesis, Arsenal.

The Gunners lost the Champions League final in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday, falling to PSG through a penalty shoot-out,

Spence mocked Arsenal’s loss on his social media, much to the delight of Spurs fans, but not so much to the Gunners, who he will have to make up with in England camp soon.

Spence has had a mixed season on an individual level, but even he managed to get a call-up to England’s World Cup squad, despite Tottenham’s near relegation from the Premier League.

The Lilywhites already had to sit back and watch Arsenal win the league, so they will have ended the season on a positive note because of what happened in the Champions League final.

After Spence made his post directed at Arsenal’s Champions League loss, Arsenal players, namely Noni Madueke and Declan Rice, seemed to throw shade back on the Spurs star through Instagram.

While speaking on Sky Sports this Monday, Dorsett explained why things could be awkward when Arsenal players arrive in camp, and revealed why they have yet to travel with the rest of the squad.

Dorsett said: “It will be really interesting to see the dynamic when the Arsenal players meet up with Djed Spence. But those Arsenal players won’t be here for some time yet; they’ll be here in and around the weekend.

“Tuchel has given them some extra time off to recover from the physical and emotional exertion of that Champions League final.”

"A brotherhood in the squad"

As Dorsett highlighted, Tuchel has picked this squad based on those who he think will be good for the dressing room, as well as getting results on the field.

That may have gone all out the window now.

Thomas Tuchel’s choice with Spence is vindicated

Tuchel was always going to take some stick for whatever team he chose for the World Cup, though it’s hard to argue against the fact that the selected squad is interesting.

Not many would have expected Spence to have been picked to get on the plane to North America, but he’s actually one that deserves to be there.

Tuchel believes that the right-back is the fastest player that the Three Lions have, and perhaps that is true, given the graphic above.

Maybe Spence should settle it by having a foot race with Bukayo Saka and Madueke when the Arsenal duo report for duty this weekend.
