In his tweet, the transfer insider said: "Djed Spence: 'Nottingham Forest means everything to me. Playing for Forest next season? Hopefully.' Bayern [Munich] left the race after signing [Noussair] Mazraoui while Tottenham are still interested, but there's no official bid yet."

Supporters will love Romano's update

Considering just how promising a talent Spence clearly is, Romano's update revealing that Fabio Paratici is still pursuing a deal for the Middlesbrough full-back - despite Forest's promotion and subsequent move to sign the 21-year-old permanently - is sure to be news that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful will love.

Indeed, over his 42 Championship appearances for Steve Cooper's side this season, the £7.2m-rated talent played a crucial role in the Reds' promotion to the top flight, scoring two goals, registering five assists and creating six big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 1.0 key passes, taking 0.6 shots and completing 1.8 dribbles per game.

The £4.4k-per-week defender also impressed in metrics more typical of his position, making an average of 1.5 tackles, 1.6 interceptions, 1.4 clearances and winning 5.8 duels per fixture.

These metrics saw the England U21 international average an extremely impressive WhoScored match rating of 7.05, ranking him as the Garibaldi's sixth-best player in the second tier.

As such, it is clear to see that Spence would be an excellent replacement for the potentially outbound Emerson Royal this summer, leading us to believe that Romano's update concerning Tottenham's continued interest in the former Fulham starlet is fantastic news for everyone involved with the club.
