Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly 'on the cusp' of reaching an agreement with Middlesbrough to sign former Nottingham Forest loanee Djed Spence.
The 21-year-old was linked with returning to the City Ground in the early stages of the summer transfer window, but Premier League rivals Spurs have more recently become front runners to end the year-long saga about Spence's future.
Forest have already moved to bolster the right-back area in recent weeks with the signings of Giulian Biancone and Neco Williams. The former has featured on the right-side of defence to start each of the Reds' first two pre-season friendlies of the summer.
