Djed Spence transfer stance emerges as '14 clubs' eyeing Nottingham Forest star

As many as 14 clubs are said to be monitoring Djed Spence as he continues to shine for Nottingham Forest.

The defender is being eyed by teams both on these shores and abroad ahead of what is sure to be a race to sign him in the summer.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds United, Brentford, Southampton, Roma and Inter Milan have already been linked with the on-loan Middlesbrough ace, while Tottenham Hotspur reportedly still have him on their radar after seeing two bids turned down in January.

According to the Daily Express, at least a dozen sides have sent scouts to check on Spence in recent months.

Representatives from top sides in Spain and Germany, as well as from Premier League heavyweights, are said to have turned up at games to watch him in person.

A £15m price tag has previously been touted for the 21-year-old as his star has been on the rise amid a string of impressive performances for the Reds.

He is said to be still weighing up his options over his future, but would be “open to a move abroad”.

The wing-back has been a key figure as Forest have climbed the Championship table and progressed in the FA Cup under Steve Cooper.

He chipped in with an assist at the weekend to set up Brennan Johnson’s opener in a comfortable 2-0 win over Bristol City.

And he has found the net twice himself in 28 appearances since heading to the City Ground on loan in the summer.
