Chelsea have joined a whole host of clubs reportedly showing interest in Championship full-back Djed Spence this summer. The 21-year-old has impressed on loan at Nottingham Forest this season, aiding their promotion push.
The right-back has made 46 appearances this season, including an eye-catching display against Arsenal in the FA Cup, where Forest managed to knock out their Premier League opponents. His chemistry with fellow youngster Brennan Johnson on the right has made them a force to be reckoned with in the second tier, with both tipped to do big things.
A number of clubs have since been linked, but manager Steve Cooper has been quick to brush off the speculation, saying: “I'm not sure how much of it is true. And if it is, it’s not going to be information which comes to us because we’re not his parent club. I’m not sure if any of it is true. It might be, it might not.
