Fans all make the same joke about Djed Spence's shirt number at Rennes

TOTTENHAM right-back Djed Spence completed a deadline day move to Rennes in search of regular football.

But fans have been left baffled by the number he will wear for the French side.

In his brief time at Tottenham, Spence wore the No24 shirt.

Now the 22-year-old has crossed the channel for a stint with Rennes until the end of the season.

But he has been assigned an unusually high number by the French outfit.

Bizzarrely, Spence will wear the No90 for his new side.

Spence has been underused by boss Antonio Conte at Spurs, playing a total of 41 minutes in all competitions all season.

And fans have aimed a cheeky joke at the highly-rated former Middlesbrough man after his number was revealed, in relation to his lack of action at Spurs.

He has played four times for England U21s, and is tipped for big things in the future, so a loan move to Rennes is the perfect opportunity to get his career back on track.

But reacting to his new No90 shirt, a social media user wrote: "Nice to see him finally get a full 90."

Another said: "First 90 Djed Spence has got all season."

A third added: "Shirt number bigger than minutes he's featured at Spurs."

And a fourth wrote: "The 90 is for how many minutes he played in 6 months."

Spence was highly sought after in the summer before joining Spurs in a £20million deal.
