Djed Spence tipped to choose Tottenham over Arsenal transfer for one key reason

Nottingham Forest loanee Djed Spence has been tipped to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer, ahead of North London rivals Arsenal.

The Middlesborough wing-back has been in sensational form for Forest this season and was named in the Championship team of the season, along with two other Forest players - Ryan Yates and Joe Worrall. He also scooped the EFL Young Player of the Month award for March.

And former Boro winger Stewart Downing claims that the 21-year-old will have a host of Premier League clubs chasing his signature this summer. Speaking to bettingexpert, Downing said: "I like the way Spurs play with a wing-back system, I know they’re quite defensive but I think Conte likes the wing-backs to go up and down - that suits his (Spence's) game. I’m not sure about Arsenal, I think he would have to do another level.
