‘I understand…’ - Tottenham officials sent to club as Conte eyes ‘exciting’ forward - insider

Speaking to GiveMeSport, reporter and transfer ‘insider’ Dean Jones has shared an update on Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer plans involving Middlesbrough forward Isaiah Jones.

Spurs, and by extension manager Antonio Conte, have reportedly been eyeing a few promising players from the Championship outfit in recent months.

One man supporters will be familiar with is right-wing-back Djed Spence, currently dazzling on loan at Nottingham Forest, who managing director Fabio Paratici reportedly tried to sign for Tottenham in the January transfer window.

ESPN reported that winter bids had been lodged for the defender, all of which were knocked back, while Goal insist that Tottenham are still very much interested and are even favourites for his summer signature.

Spence, however, isn’t the only player from Boro on Spurs’ radar.

Indeed, Tottenham officials have apparently been sent to run the rule over Chris Wilder’s bright young forward Jones with the Lilywhites scouting him at Boro.

Speaking to GMS, reporter Jones has claimed:

“From what I understand, they’ve been scouting Isaiah Jones, too, and they think that he could be the guy they turn to.”

As Lilywhites officials are dispatched to the Riverside Stadium to watch Jones, they simply must be impressed by what they’ve witnessed.

Wilder, speaking to the press recently, heaped praise on his ‘outstanding’ and ‘exciting‘ winger with WhoScored also going into detail on the 22-year-old’s statistical contributions.

Jones ranks in Boro’s top four performers going by average match rating (6.94) and has also completed the joint-second most key passes per 90 (1.2) out of Wilder’s squad in England’s second tier.

If that wasn’t enough, the Englishman averages more successful take-ons (1.5)
