Spence spent 2021/22 out on loan with Nottingham Forest, featuring on 46 occasions as they secured promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 1999.

The full-back put on some starring displays in the FA Cup vs the likes of Leicester and Arsenal, which caught the eye of several top clubs.

One of these was Tottenham, who had also shown an interest in the defender back in 2020 when he enjoyed a purple patch with parent club, Middlesbrough.
