The move has not worked for a player who now finds himself down the pecking order at Spurs behind the likes of

Pedro Porro and Emerson Royal, with new manager Ange Postecoglou happy to let the player leave the club this

summer.

While there has been interest both home and abroad for Spence, no club has come close to matching the type of

figure Spurs want for a player who they made a big outlay on just 12 months ago. It means a season-long loan deal is

now most likely, with Spurs hoping Spence impresses enough to drive his transfer fee up next summer.

Leeds are understood to be in the driving seat regarding a loan deal, which could cost the club around £2m for the

season. That fee would be made up a direct loan fee paid to Spurs, plus the player’s wages paid in full, thought to be

around £25,000 a week. It’s an expensive loan deal for Leeds, but a signing that requires far less outlay than buying

the player now, just one year into his five-year deal.

aim to give Daniel Farke the tools he needs to build a promotion-winning side. While there are reports deals for

Nadiem Amiri and Joseph Paintsil have stalled, the signs look promising at this stage over a deal for Spence, with the

player’s choice of destination set to hold the key to a deal
