Tottenham Hotspur sign Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence
Tottenham Hotspur signed Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence on Tuesday in a deal that could rise to a reported £20 million ($24 million). Spence agreed a five-year contract with Tottenham after impressing during a loan spell with Championship side Nottingham Forest last season. The 21-year-old right-back's initial price is believed to be £12.5 million but that could rise to £20 million if add-on clauses are reached. Spence shot to prominence as Forest won promotion to the Premier League via the second tier play-offs last term. He made 46 appearances, scoring three goals in a season that culminated with victory over Huddersfield in the play-off final at Wembley.
