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.
Despite his tender age, Spence has proved a ‘massive player’ for Forest over 2021/2022, as claimed by Sky Sports pundit Jobi McAnuff.His WhoScored stats certainly back just how brilliant he has been this season, ranking among Forest’s top-four performers in the Championship going by average match rating.Out of Steve Cooper’s current crop, only forward Keinan Davis has completed more successful take-ons per 90 than Spence domestically (WhoScored) – backing the top talent’s proven attacking threat as an effective RWB.His quality is evident, but given his interesting in moving to Old Trafford and all the fierce competition, it appears Paratici faces a tough task to get the deal done.In other news: Source: Tottenham edge closer to ‘top signing’, he now really wants to join Conte!
