Genoa coach Gilardino delighted with Spence debut

Genoa coach Alberto Gilardino is delighted with what he's seen from Djed Spence.

The Tottenham fullback joined Genoa last week on-loan to the end of the season and made his debut in victory over Salernitina.

"He trained for three days with the team because he was in London due to a bureaucratic problem," Gilardino told Sos Fanta.

"He did well, he raced and worked with the team. He has room for improvement, but everyone was strong.

"I saw interdiction and quality, then we took advantage of the depth of the offensive tandem."
