The Latest: Jones shares exciting update…
Speaking to GiveMeSport, the reporter has now shared some positive news for Lilywhites supporters on the chase for Spence.
He explained:
“Spurs are refusing to be rushed into paying over the odds for Spence but talks are progressing and there’s a general feeling that they should have him on board in time for pre-season.”
The Verdict: Promising…
We believe the defender should be next in line to arrive at Tottenham, especially considering he could solve many glaring issues both and off the field.

Spurs’ troubling homegrown quota issue has been well documented and landing another Englishman on the books will seriously boost the club in terms of fixing this.
Spence’s quality is also evident, having turned heads on loan at Forest during their promotion push.
The Boro ace, called a ‘perfect player for Conte‘ by talkSPORT’s Alex Crook, could certainly be a shrewd addition for the club.
