Nottingham Forest are reportedly willing to match Middlesbrough's asking price for wing-back Djed Spence, but so are five other clubs as a bidding war moves ever closer.
It comes after reports over the weekend suggested Tottenham had entered an "advanced stage" to sign the talented wing-back. Spence, 21, has established himself as one of the Championship's best attacking full-backs after a brilliant loan spell with Nottingham Forest last term.
At least six clubs are lining up to sign Spence, however, with Forest facing plenty of competition in their efforts to sign the England Under-21 international.
