Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte looks set to put Nottingham Forest on red alert, and provide the Reds with hope that Djed Spence could return to the City Ground in January.
According to 90min.com, Conte wants to sign a new right wing-back and forward. This is despite being able to name Emerson Royal, Matt Doherty and former Forest loanee Spence in the former role.
Therefore, it is expected that at least one of those would depart, with the door being potentially opened for Spence to make a sensational return to the East Midlands.

The 22-year-old made 42 Championship appearances for the Reds last season and played a key part in helping Steve Cooper's side win promotion to the Premier League.
He arrived in North London after Tottenham agreed a deal believed to be worth £20 million with Middlesbrough in July.
However, Spence has failed to earn the trust of Conte to date, having made only three league appearances this season. He was a second half sub in Spurs' 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Forest on Wednesday.
Such news follows the most recent Garibaldi Red podcast episode, where host Matt Davies and guests Michael Temple and Mikey Clarke were all in agreement that Spence's return would be a welcome one.
