Tottenham have rejected a bid from Brentford to sign Djed Spence on loan. football.london revealed on Wednesday that Spurs were open to letting the player leave on loan in the January transfer window, with the likes of Brentford and Leicester City interested in signing him.
However, Brentford have seen a loan bid knocked back by Spurs for one very clear reason - they do not want to sell him permanently.
The full-back has found opportunities hard to come by under head coach Antonio Conte since signing for Spurs from Middlesbrough in the summer. Spence came with a big reputation, having helped Nottingham Forest to promotion to the Premier League while on loan there last season.
