Nottingham Forest's pursuit of Djed Spence could be set to receive a significant blow as Tottenham Hotspur look to free up space in their squad to sign the England Under-21 international.
Spence, 21, is in high demand this summer after impressing on loan for Forest to help Steve Cooper's side earn promotion to the Premier League. The right-back was a standout player for the Reds, scoring three goals and providing five assists across 46 appearances, while also impressing in the FA Cup against Premier League opposition.
Forest have been joined by Spurs in trying to prise Spence away from parent club Middlesbrough this summer, with reports suggesting he would be more interested in moving to the capital than back to the East Midlands. However, it was recently reported that Boro are "waiting to receive an official bid" from either side.
