Report: Tottenham target Spence wanted by at least 12 clubs this summer
Tottenham Hotspur may be left to rue missing out on Djed Spence during the January transfer window, that with at least 12 clubs now interested in signing the right-back this summer.
Spence has been a revelation in the Championship this term. Certainly, Middlesbrough could not have anticipated just how impressive he would be, having loaned him out to Nottingham Forest.

He has helped Steve Cooper’s side turn their season around and put themselves in promotion contention. But he has also won a lot of admirers with his performances in the FA Cup.
Ian Wright described his display against Arsenal as ‘‘. And he followed that with a Rolls-Royce performance against Leicester.

Reports claimed that Tottenham were just £3 million away from meeting his £15 million asking price in January. And it would now appear that Spurs may be in danger of being left to kick themselves.
that at least 12 sides are now scouting Spence ahead of the summer. It is suggested that clubs from Spain, Italy and others in the Premier League also want the right-back, leaving Tottenham in danger of missing out.
Tottenham still have fantastic opportunity to land Djed Spence this summer
Clearly, it is not the best look that Tottenham did not get the deal for Spence over the line. And they can now surely expect Boro to demand more for the 21-year-old in the summer.
But Tottenham surely still have a fantastic chance of signing Spence. Neither Matt Doherty or Emerson Royal has been able to stamp their authority on the right wing-back position for Antonio Conte.
So a move to Spurs may well appeal to the starlet. To have the opportunity to be an important player under Conte must be extremely tempting for many.
But obviously, Tottenham now face a big battle trying to win the race for Spence.
