Middlesbrough have not spoken to any clubs about a move for Djed Spence amid claims that Tottenham Hotspur are at an advanced stage in negotiations for the defender.
Spence, who starred on loan for Nottingham Forest last season, is a transfer target for Spurs this summer after a stellar season on Trentside. The 21 year-old right-back played 46 times for the Reds and starred in the play-off final defeat of Huddersfield Town at the end of May.
His value has rocketed as a result of his fine 2021-22 and will net Middlesbrough a handsome transfer fee if, as expected, he does move on this summer. Tottenham are being heavily linked with a move for Spence, who would slot straight into the right-wing-back position in Antonio Conte's defence.
