Djed Spence has attracted serious interest after his dazzling and energetic performances in the Championship last season.
The 21-year-old, who spent 2021-22 at Nottingham Forest on loan from from Middlesbrough, was mainly deployed as an all-action wing-back who under the management of Steve Cooper was instructed to dominate the right-hand side and flourished in this role. He is understandably attracting attention from England’s elite, with Tottenham Hotspur said to be keen on the England Under-21 star although reports Antonio Conte's side have agreed a fee with Boro over the player are premature.
Forest want to bring him in again next season and he would be a huge miss if they cannot get the 21 year-old on a permanent deal. Cooper and Forest's hierarchy will have been making contingency plans in the event that Spence does not return to Trentside.
