Tottenham Hotspur have been instructed by a former player to agree a deal for a wing-back in January, which would leave Djed Spence’s future up in the air.
The 22-year-old starred for Steve Cooper's side last season making 42 appearances for the Reds as they earned promotion to the Premier League. His performances for Forest saw the Middlesbrough loanee attract interest from top-flight clubs with the full-back eventually being sold to Spurs for a reported £20million in the summer.
However, Spence has struggled to establish himself as part of Antonio Conte’s side, featuring four times for a total of just 28 minutes this term as he competes with Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal for a starting berth. Spurs have now been linked with a further £26million move for Inter Milan’s Denzel Dumfries in January and former defender Pascal Chimbonda has wondered where this would leave Spence’s prospects at the club.
