Tottenham are in talks to sign Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.

Sky Sports says Spurs are in advanced talks to sign Spence.

The England U21 international shone while on loan at Nottingham Forest last season, helping the club achieve promotion to the Premier League.

His form sparked interest from Spurs, who are now the frontrunners for his signature.

It's claimed a decision on Spence's future could come as soon as in the next few days.

The 21-year-old is a top target for Antonio Conte, who has already recruited one wing-back this summer in Ivan Perisic.

Reinforcements are desired on the opposite flank though, and Spence fits the bill.
