Sky Sports reporter: Tottenham set to splash ‘money’ with Paratici eyeing 4 signings

Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has revealed he believes Tottenham Hotspur will win the signature of Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence this summer and outlines a number of other positions the club wishes to improve. 

Spurs are looking to continue to build around new manager Antonio Conte in the summer transfer window after completing the signing of former Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic, with Middlesbrough wing-back Djed Spence heavily rumoured to move to the Premier League side instead of a return to Nottingham Forest.

It also looks like Spence won’t be the only signing for the remainder of the transfer window as Bridge has revealed they also want to add players at centre-back, a central midfielder, and potentially another forward option depending on who ends up leaving the club.

Bridge said on The Transfer Show, “We’re looking at right-wing back. I think that will probably be Djed Spence from Middlesbrough. I want to say, Forest, obviously, it was a loan. And then they’re looking at a left central defender, alongside Dier and Romero. A central midfielder, and possibly another forward just depending on who goes so yeah, I think they’re going to be very, very busy. I think they’re going to be busy, and I think they’re going to spend some money.”
