Nottingham Forest ace receives confidence booster as transfer price tag emerges

Winger Joe Lolley now has a spring in his step after a tough few months struggling for game time at Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest loan star Djed Spence looks set to be playing Premier League football next season, regardless of whether the Reds or parent club Middlesbrough win promotion.

According to the Daily Star ( via The Express ), Boro will demand a club record fee of £20million for Spence, a price which would only be in reach for top-flight clubs.
