Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race to sign Djed Spence in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old, who spent the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest and helped them to win the Championship play-offs, has been linked with a number of clubs, with Newcastle also linked to the full-back who is still on Middlesbrough's books.
Spence is expected to leave the Riverside Stadium this summer in a move that could largely fund 'Boro's own summer spending this year, with The Northern Echo reporting that a fee of over £15million is being demanded. Forest are keen on a permanent deal for a player who scored three goals in 46 appearances in all competitions last term, but whose spell at the City Ground has caused his reputation to balloon.
