Spence: I'm Djed pleased at chance of Muslim first for England
Birmingham Mail
|September 05, 2025
TOTTENHAM fullback Djed Spence was both honoured and surprised to learn he is in line to make history as England's first openly Muslim player.
The 25-year-old was one of two new faces included in Thomas Tuchel’s squad as the road to next summer's World Cup continues with qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
Spence was surprised to get the call-up having not spoken to the England boss before and amazed to hear he could make history as the first Muslim footballer to represent the senior men’s team.
