The Scottish DJ, real name Joshua Spence Mainnie, was nominated for last year's Mercury Music Prize and a host of other awards for his debut, When Do We Land?.

When those who know Djed Spence well talk about his unusual career pathway, one word comes up more than any other - "relaxed".

Before 15 December, Spence had played just 64 minutes of Premier League football this season.

At first, Spence was so far down Postecoglou's pecking order he was not even included in the squad for the Europa League group stage, coming in for the knockout stages.

Spence missed out with Arsenal's Myles Lewis-Skelly instead called up as the debutant left-back, despite the Spurs man making more Premier League tackles, interceptions, clearances, blocks and defensive headers this campaign.
