Andros Townsend urges Tottenham honcho Daniel Levy to sign Djed Spence

According to Teesside Live, star Andros Townsend has put pressure on Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy to complete the signing of Djed Spence. He is joined by his ex-team-mate Jamie O’Hara who is also pressing the Spurs chairman to complete the transfer.

Spurs have been linked with Middlesbrough’s right-back Djed Spence, since the beginning of the summer transfer window. Spence, who spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, helping them secure promotion to the Premier League via the league play-offs.

The England U-21 star made a total of 50 appearances for Forest, scoring thrice and assisting five times in the process. He caught the eye of Antonio Conte who has been revamping his squad for next season.

It was reported that Levy is personally handling the negotiations involving Spence. And now ex-player Townsend has urged his chairman to conclude the deal.

“I think Djed Spence is the key one. In the past, this would be the transfer fee that Daniel Levy would drag out until deadline day. I think it’s been reported that Spurs are way off Middlesbrough’s valuation, so this is the one if he really wants to back Conte. If he really has changed and gets this done within the next few weeks, then it gives Conte his man for the whole of pre-season.”

Middlesbrough want to cash in as much as possible, as they have
