Spence, whose family heritage spans Jamaican and Kenyan backgrounds, has featured in only one official match in Leeds colors since his arrival on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
"We need him right now as well because it was not just eight weeks he was missing, also difficult pre-season, he has to work even more disciplined and more professional than any other player to be back at his best level but I get a good feeling with him," Farke remarked about Spence's dedication and potential.
"He’s a good guy and he sometimes needs a push in order to be on it because he has so much potential but we don’t have to speak about his ability and potential. He’s got a good heart and hopefully, we can bring the best out of him," he added, emphasizing the defender's immense talent.
