Tottenham have moved closer to completing a deal to sign Djed Spence with the Middlesbrough defender now pushing for a move to North London, according to Rudy Galetti. 

The Italian journalist explains it is only a ‘matter of time’ before Spurs capture the England U21 international with the final paperwork the only obstacle remaining. 

It is also added Spurs have fended off interest from Nottingham Forest, where Spence enjoyed a productive loan spell in the Championship last season. 

Although a fee is not mentioned, Sky Sports recently reported an agreement has edged closer to a £15 million transfer plus additional bonuses. 

The 21-year-old had attracted interest elsewhere in the top-flight from Newcastle and Brentford, as well as overseas from the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Roma (Football.London).

Spurs Web Opinion 

It looks like Spurs are on the verge of finally getting a deal for Spence over the line and are close to ticking another name off their list pretty early on this summer. 

He will provide yet more depth for Antonio Conte by providing more competition on that right-hand side, and it looks to be at a very reasonable price too.
