Tottenham Hotspur have signed Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence, and are now preparing an official announcement for him. The transfer has taken a long time, but has finally been agreed as Antonio Conte welcomes another new signing for the summer. 

Spurs have agreed a £12.5 million deal which could rise to £20 million including add-ons. He spent the 21/22 season on loan at newly promoted club Nottingham Forest, and will now be part of one of the biggest teams in the Premier League.

“It’s a boost for everyone,” [Middlesbrough coach Chris Wilder said](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/wilder-djed-spence-tottenham-transfer-27497715), as published by Teeside Live. “There has been far too much talk about it, but these deals just don’t happen overnight. It’s a big number for a player that has not played for us. He had a fabulous season [at Nottingham Forest], everyone knows that.

“Tottenham were the only show in town, so they could hang out, which they have done. We needed to hang out, which we have done. Eventually, a deal has been done. Tottenham will feel they’ve got a very good deal for a young player, we feel we’ve got a great deal to get the money we’ve got for a player who has hardly played for the first-team here.”

After Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and [Clement Lenglet](https://technosports.co.in/2022/07/08/clement-lenglet-all-join-tottenham/), Djed Spence will become the sixth new signing for Conte in the coming days once his arrival is made official.
