# Tottenham: Djed Spence update emerges

**Tottenham are considering going back in for Nottingham Forest loanee Djed Spence, claim Sky Sports.**

### The Lowdown: Spence profiled

Spence is on loan at The City Ground from Middlesbrough and is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/djed-spence/profil/spieler/483348) a right-back who can also play as a right midfielder.

Labelled as a [‘massive player’](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/sky-sports-pundit-issues-claim-involving-nottingham-forest-and-djed-spence/ar-AASFdba) by Sky Sports pundit Jobi McAnuff, the 21-year-old has made [22](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/djed-spence/leistungsdaten/spieler/483348) appearances for Forest and helped them defeat Arsenal in the FA Cup earlier this month.

[Reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/tottenham-hotspur-antonio-conte-djed-spence-signing-london-world-latest-thfc-transfer-news/) in recent weeks suggested that Antonio Conte was close to signing the Englishman, and it now appears as if Spurs could go back in for Spence after a move for Adama Traore [collapsed](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12526541/adama-traore-barcelona-in-talks-with-wolves-forward-who-is-unconvinced-by-tottenham-role).

### The Latest: Sky Sports claim

According to [Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre](https://www.skysports.com/transfer-centre), relayed by [Football League World](https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/update-provided-on-tottenhams-transfer-pursuit-of-21-y-o-championship-man/), Spurs are weighing up another move for Spence.

The update claims that even though Tottenham won’t be able to use the player this season, they are still considering a late January swoop.

### The Verdict: Good news

Out of all the Forest players who have played 15 or more games this season, Spence has been the best, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/174/Show/England-Nottingham-Forest), so a late winter window deal ahead of the summer could be an exciting one.

He’s clearly an impressive young talent, and who knows, he could fit the right-wing back mould Conte [wanted](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-considering-fresh-approach-for-adama-traore/8OHBdqVsYX1j/) Traore in over the coming years.

Missing out on Spence now could also be a risk ahead of the summer, especially with [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/djed-spence/profil/spieler/483348) believing Arsenal, Inter Milan and Roma are circling – securing a deal now could be extremely beneficial for the long-term future under Conte.
