Expert: Djed Spence’s move to Tottenham is ‘99% going to happen’ as sources reveal fee
The deal taking Djed Spence from Middlesbrough to Tottenham is “99% going to happen”.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Spence, 21, has enjoyed a stellar campaign while on loan at Nottingham Forest, making 45 appearances in all competitions.
He has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs after registering five assists in 39 Championship outings.
According to ESPN (31 January), Tottenham saw two transfer deadline day bids for the wing-back rejected.
After speaking to his sources, Wenham claims a £10million deal is close to being completed.
“I think Spence is 99% going to happen,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“That’s what I am hearing and the fee is actually really reasonable as well.
“It’s around £10million. That’s a no brainer, thank you very much. He’s the one a lot of clubs have been linked with.
“So it sounds like we are getting a really good deal and getting it done early which is great to see.”
Spence spent his youth at Fulham before moving to Middlesbrough in 2018.
He made 71 total appearances for the club before moving on loan to Forest in the summer of 2021.
He is also an England Under 21 international, making his debut as a substitute during a 3-0 victory away to Albania on 29 March 2022
