Tottenham Hotspur's delayed signing of Middlesbrough full-back Djed Spence has been explained.
The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to north London all summer but it is so far yet to materialise. That may change in the coming days though, with Spurs reportedly making a breakthrough in negotiations last week, and Boro boss Chris Wilder has now explained the situation.
It comes as Antonio Conte has opened up on the side's pre-season results so far following the 1-1 draw with Sevilla on Saturday. And Ivan Perisic has been made to wait even longer for his first Spurs appearance.
