Djed Spence is set to have a decision to make with Tottenham Hotspur one of a number of top clubs chasing his signature and the wing-back would be interested in a move to north London, football.london understands.
The 21-year-old has caught the eye of a number of clubs in the Premier League and Europe with his performances on loan from Middlesbrough at Nottingham Forest as they swept to promotion in the play-off final at the weekend. football.london understands that Spurs are one of the front runners for his signature but face competition from Borussia Dortmund, Roma, Newcastle, Brentford and Forest to sign the England U21 international in the coming weeks.
Tottenham's managing director of football Fabio Paratici has scouted Spence in person this season and with Emerson Royal expected to leave the club, with a number of La Liga clubs monitoring the Brazilian's situation, the plan would be to use Spence in tandem with the experienced Republic of Ireland international Matt Doherty in the wing-back role next season during a campaign which brings Champions League football and plenty of matches to Spurs.
