Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte could make a final decision on the short-term future of Nottingham Forest promotion hero Djed Spence after working with him over the World Cup break.
The wing-back was a key player in the Reds’ charge towards the Premier League last season when he was on a season-long loan from Middlesbrough. Forest were keen to make the deal permanent in the summer, as they prepared for the Premier League, but the player instead completed a move to Tottenham.
The 22-year-old signed a five-year deal with the North London club, but has found game time hard to come by this season. Spence has played a total of just three minutes over three appearances in the Premier League.
