Middlesbrough manager Chris Wilder has said that he hopes for the transfer saga over the future of Djed Spence comes to a ‘quick conclusion’.
The wing-back caught the eye on loan with Nottingham Forest last season, playing a big part in the team earning a memorable promotion back to the Premier League through the play-offs. Forest would have hoped to make the deal permanent this summer, but face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, with Antonio Conte’s side said to be closing in on a move for the player.
Talks between Spurs and Middlesbrough have been ongoing for some time with the asking price being demanded by the Championship side proving to be a stumbling block. But it does seem that a compromise is close to being reached with reports over the last few days claiming that Spence is set to undergo a medical with Tottenham.
