Djed Spence transfer stance as defender 'ready to commit' to Nottingham Forest

Djed Spence is yet to decide where he will play his football next season after a sparkling season with Nottingham Forest.

Spence has been linked with a host of Premier League and European clubs after making the official Championship team of the season. Middlesbrough look set to cash in on the 21-year-old England under-21 defender, and Forest would be undoubtedly be keen to make a permanent move for the £15m-rated wing-back.

TEAMtalk have today reported that Spence is 'ready to commit' to Forest if they are promoted. However, Nottinghamshire Live understands the player will only address his future at the end of this season as he looks to help Forest win promotion to the Premier League.

Spence has relished his time at the City Ground under Steve Cooper and is desperate to end the season in promotion. The Reds can take a huge step towards their goal if they beat Bournemouth tonight (7pm kick-off) with just three points separating third placed Forest and their opponents in second.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Southampton, Roma, Tottenham and Inter Milan have all been linked with the player, while it is understood Bayern Munich are also monitoring him. Given the quality of Spence's performances, it is no surprise clubs of such stature are scouting him, but that has failed to distract the former Fulham apprentice.
