Sky Sports have now shared a major transfer update on Tottenham Hotspur‘s pursuit of exciting Championship starlet Djed Spence.
The Lowdown: Paratici bids made…
The 21-year-old, currently shining on loan at Nottingham Forest from parent club Middlesbrough, has been at the centre of Spurs’ interest in recent months.
Antonio Conte is reportedly keen to bring in a right-wing-back, and while Spence may well be one more for the future, the Lilywhites have been determined to land him in recent months.
Tottenham chief Fabio Paratici allegedly lodged multiple January bids in an attempt to bring Spence to the Premier League, as per ESPN, with their interest continuing long past winter.
Credible source Jack Rosser of The Evening Standard backs that the north Londoners are set to battle with rivals Arsenal over the homegrown ace’s summer signing.

The Latest: Sky share big update…
Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, taking to Twitter, now claims that Spence has an ‘offer’ from Spurs – but they aren’t the only ones making approaches.
There are as many as five clubs vying for the defender, including Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, but it is believed that Spence has his eye on one move in particular.
Plettenberg explained: “Update Spence: Selling price is €12-15m! It is said that he has got 5 offers. City, Arsenal & Tottenham are among the interested clubs. Djed’s dream is to play for #MUFC one day. He is a fan! Been told there should be still a loose contact with FC Bayern.”
The Verdict: Get it done…
The exciting rising star has been a revelation in England’s second tier and could leave for just £13 million – not to mention his signing would go some way to solving Spurs’ homegrown quota crisis.
