Middlesbrough boss Chris Wilder has taken himself away from the Djed Spence transfer saga as a move to Tottenham continues to drag on. A player Fabio Paratici wants to bring to the club to strengthen at right wing-back, Spurs have been unable to strike a deal with the Championship side for the England U21 international so far.
Many believed that a transfer for the London-born player would have been completed in time for Tottenham's pre-season tour of South Korea but unfortunately that has not been the case. Making it clear that the transfer is now with Middlesbrough's owner and chief executive to complete, all will be hoping for a quick resolution with both clubs having to plan for the new campaign.
“I’ve got to say, I’ve taken myself away from it. It’s not my job now, it’s gone beyond me and it’s not up to me to do the negotiating and agree a deal. That’s with the club and the owner and the chief executive," said the Boro boss, as reported by TeesideLive.
