"I appreciate the warm welcome. Obviously my first game here so I really appreciate it and I just can't wait to get going."
"It was a good day for the team, a good day for myself, so very happy to get the three points."
"I guess it is just something new for me,"
"I have got to learn but I am working hard to improve, working hard to get in the team and hopefully I can get some run of games soon."
"Definitely my tactical side [has improved since arriving]. I am learning a lot from training and learning a lot from the guys, so I am learning a lot at the moment."
On that 'club signing' comment, Spence simply said: "I didn't really see it. I don't really pay attention. I just train, you know pay attention to my football and train hard"
"I am hopeful [of more game time], but I have just got to be patient and when my time comes I've just got to take it,"
"I've just got to take it as it comes. It can take time or be quick [to get your chance], so it is what it is."
"I always believe in myself but you never know what happens in football so you've just got to be patient and when the time comes, the time will come."
" I want to play not just in the cup, in the league as well so whether my first start comes in the league or the cup, I've just got to be ready,"
"Everyone has welcomed me [to the club]. There is not one specific player. All the team have welcomed me, all the staff, so it has been good. The fans have for sure and you've seen it today. I appreciate the love from everybody."
Spence has been working hard on his fitness to reach the demands Conte places on his players, in particular his wing-backs, and one man who played his part in his work off the pitch was Gian Piero Ventrone, the renowned fitness coach who passed away suddenly this month from leukaemia.
"He was a good guy, always pushing us to our limits,"
"Obviously I didn't know him as well as the other boys but what I knew from him was he was a very hard-working guy."
"He always made sure we did things right and would push ourselves to places we thought we couldn't go so yeah, he was a top guy. Yeah probably [they were probably the hardest sessions I've done], but it was good stuff."
