The race to sign Tottenham and Arsenal target Djed Spence is hotting up after a report revealed talks have been pencilled in for late March.
Spence, 21, has done his reputation wonders during his loan spell at Nottingham Forest this season. The right-back – who is also capable of operating as a wing-back or in midfield – has caught the eye on multiple occasions, most notably in the FA Cup.
Spence excelled on the big stage with his marauding displays against Arsenal and Leicester in rounds three and four respectively.
The Middlesbrough loanee again played the full match in round five against Huddersfield, with Forest advancing to the quarter finals to tee up a mouth-watering clash with Liverpool.
But predictably, Spence’s stellar showings have not gone unnoticed. Indeed, Arsenal and Tottenham are the two English clubs who have frequently been linked with a summer move.
Spurs could look to sign an upgrade on the disappointing Emerson Royal. Arsenal, meanwhile, would be adding a more attacking threat to their right flank. His arrival would also allow Takehiro Tomiyasu to move into a more favoured central position.

However, according to Sky in Germany, the pair – along with Man City – could all be beaten to the punch by Bayern Munich.
Firstly, the outlet reel off the list of clubs chasing Spence. Tottenham and Man City are named from England along with German trio Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
Two unnamed Spanish sides are mentioned, though Arsenal are not. Regardless, the Gunners have been named by various outlets in the past, and the fact Gabriel Martinelli described Spence as the toughest opponent he’s faced this season speaks volumes.
However, the article adds ‘further talks’ between Spence’s camp and Bayern chiefs are ‘planned for the end of the month’ (March). That would suggest initial contact has already been made and Bayern liked what they heard.
