Tottenham Hotspur close in on Djed Spence deal

By
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly close to concluding a deal to sign Middlesbrough right-back Djed Spence. Spence, who was on loan at Nottingham Forest last season, has been heavily linked with Antonio Conte's side this summer. The 21-year-old was born in London and appears set for a return to the city, Spurs are keen to announce the signing before departing on a pre-season tour to South Korea on July 9.
Spence, who has played a few times for England's Under-21s, would be the fifth signing at Tottenham as the club continues to back Conte in the transfer market.
Conte guided the club to a fourth-placed finish in his first season, and must now balance Premier League efforts with a Champions League campaign. Spurs have already confirmed the signings of Yves Bissouma from Brighton and Richarlison from Everton, while Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster have arrived on free transfers.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
