Summary
Djed Spence's first start for England in a World Cup stage fixture against Ghana has triggered a secret clause in his Tottenham Hotspur contract, costing the club a seven-figure fee. The 25-year-old left-back started under Thomas Tuchel in a 0-0 draw after impressing as a substitute in England's opening win over Croatia. Despite not having a major impact in the match, the appearance activated the financial clause.

· 3 pulledDjed Spence's first start for England in their World Cup stage fixture against Ghana has cost his club Tottenham Hotspur a seven-figure fee.
He had earlier come on as a 80th-minute substitute in the opening 4-2 win over Croatia, and impressed sufficiently to replace Nico O'Reilly against Ghana in Boston.
Spence didn't have a significant impact on proceedings on Tuesday, but the same could be said for many of the England starting XI.
