Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign Djed Spence from Middlesbrough.
Spurs are among the front runners to sign 21-year-old Spence, who helped Nottingham Forest achieve promotion to the Premier League while on loan last season.
Tottenham are keen to see off other competition to bolster the wing-back position, and a decision on his future could come in the next few days once he returns from England Under-21 duty.
The club are aware they must add to their list of homegrown players.
Spurs have already completed two of their expected six or seven signings this summer in Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster.
