Everyone is talking about him at the moment: Djed Spence The versatile right-footed player is in demand in Germany at FC Bayern, BVB and two other clubs, among others. And the poker around the 21-year-old Englishman is getting hotter and hotter. In pole position from a Bundesliga perspective: the German record champions.
Djed Spence from the English second division club FC Middlesbrough is attracting more and more interested parties. First, the English “Express” reported that BVB would like to grab the 21-year-old, who is currently on loan to league competitor Nottingham Forest, next summer. According to the newspaper, Spence could become one of the “most sought-after young talents in Europe”.
The youngster can occupy all positions on the right flank. In the current season, the homegrown Boro has made 27 league appearances for Nottingham, and he was always in the starting XI.
Both clubs are currently in a hot race for one of the coveted playoff spots. For Djed Spence, it should continue in the future, regardless of the possible promotion opportunities of his two clubs.
Last reported the English “Sky Sports“that there are more and more options from the Bundesliga: In addition to BVB and the aforementioned FC Bayern, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are also showing interest.
Fee for Spence revealed: Poker is getting hotter
With a change to one of the currently four best German clubs, Spence would swap the English second division for games in the Champions League.
But the Bundesliga clubs have tough competition from England. As the German “Sky” reports, seven top clubs from the Premier League are putting out feelers for Spence. Of course, including Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
The transfer fee for the right foot is ten to 15 million euros. The English “Express” had previously reported that Middlesbrough rejected an offer of almost 18 million euros in winter. The offer is said to have come from Spurs.
FC Bayern should be at the forefront in the race for Spence, whose contract in north-east England expires in the summer of 2024. According to the German “Sky”, “further talks” are planned with him, from which it can be concluded that the people of Munich have already made contact.
Spence himself dares to take the step to Säbener Straße. He sees Alphonso Davies as a great role model.
