Tottenham Hotspur youngster Djed Spence is set to leave the club in the winter transfer window on a loan move.

According to Alisdair Gold, Brentford and Leicester City are among the clubs interested in the 22-year-old.

Spence signed for Spurs in the summer from Championship side Middlesbrough after playing a key role in Nottingham Forest’s promotion to the top flight during his season-long loan spell.

He then returned to his parent club and faced interest from several top sides, but opted to make the switch to Spurs.

However, he has not been a favoured figure under Antonio Conte and has played just 41 minutes of football this season. None of these appearances has come as a starter.

There have also been several matches in which the right-back has not made the matchday squad at all –  far from ideal for a young player who is keen to develop their game.

The Lilywhites are rejecting permanent offers for Spence and will only oversee his departure temporarily.
