Tottenham are set to hold further talks with Middlesbrough this week over a potential deal for Djed Spence, according to Sky Sports (14:37 – 21/6/22).
The report claims that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is set to conduct the latest round of negotiations after a deal has yet to be agreed.
Spurs have previously indicated that they believe the England Under21 international to be worth around £10million, while Boro were holding out for £15million plus add-ons which brought talks to a halt.
Levy’s involvement in the transfer is said to allow Spurs’ managing director of football to focus on other transfer matters.
Spence enjoyed a fruitful campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest last season and played a crucial role in Steve Cooper’s side after they secured promotion to the Premier League.
Forest are keen to retain the 21-year-old ahead of the new campaign, but have also seen their interest joined by that of Brentford, Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund and Roma (Football.London).
Spurs Web Opinion
The transfer looks to be dragging out a little with Spurs keen to shave as much off the price tag as possible but with the difference being so minimal, you’d expect a deal to materialise at some point.
Hopefully, it doesn’t take too long to the point where Spurs miss their opportunity and another club swoops in and seals a deal.
