    Talks have been taking place for weeks but the two clubs were still believed to be way-off agreeing a fee.
    The North East team were demanding £15million plus add-ons with Boro boss Chris Wilder recently insisting that they would not be forced into selling him below their asking price.
    Spence has returned to the North East for pre-season training but has been left behind as the rest of Boro’s squad headed off on tour to Portugal last weekend.
    However, now he finally looks set to get his desired move away from the Riverside.

    Now the plan is for Spence to undergo a medical within the next two days if everything goes to plan.

    Spence was released by Fulham back in 2018 but was snapped-up by Boro on a free.
    He was then handed his opportunity in the first-team under Jonathan Woodgate and impressed enough to win the EFL Young Player of the Month in January 2020.

    However, Media Foot are reporting that Arsenal lead the way in their pursuit of Gvardiol.
    It comes after it emerged on Thursday that Juventus are eyeing up a move for Gunners centre-half Gabriel.
    The Italian giants are preparing a part-swap deal which could include either Arthur or Adrien Rabiot.
    That will put Mikel Arteta on high alert as Juventus can offer what Arsenal cannot over the next 12 months in the form of Champions League football.

    He said: “Right now there is nothing at all, there is talk of many things like every year.
    “I have peace of mind of being where they want me, at the club of my life and I have this offer right now that I value as very positive.

REJECT chance to sign Ronaldo, Rooney CONFIRMED as DC United boss

    He adds that the England skipper is “untouchable” at Spurs.

    He and his team-mates were welcomed in Seoul by Son Heung-min and thousands of fans.
    Training has been brutal, with Kane even throwing up during one session.
    The forward is set to be in action later today as Spurs open their pre-season schedule with a match against Team K League at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
    They will then be in action again on Saturday, taking on Sevilla in Suwon.
    Spurs have already made five signings this summer, with Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Clement Lenglet all arriving.
    They are also in negotiations with Middlesbrough for right wing-back Djed Spence.
    Lewandowski, meanwhile, has returned to Munich without his wife and children amid safety fears, having received death threats on social media after admitting he wants to leave.

    Danny Rose plays for Tottenham despite still being contracted to Watford with ex-England man’s career in limbo

    DANNY ROSE has been seen playing for Tottenham – despite still being contracted to Watford. The former England international’s career remains in limbo as he looks for an exit from The Hornets.
    Danny Rose was spotted playing for a Tottenham XI despite still being contracted to Watford
    He has not joined Watford on their pre-season tour and played for Spurs U21 against Enfield Town

    He is now back training with Spurs at Hotspur Way even though he left the club a year ago.
    Short footage from The Spurs Web on Twitter shows the 32-year-old wearing the No 3 three and operating from his usual left-back position in a Tottenham Under-21 friendly against non-League Enfield Town.
    According to the Watford Observer, Rose is training with Tottenham at his own request.
    He is one of a number of players looking to force their way out of the Hertfordshire club, along with the likes of Emmanuel Dennis and Ismaila Sarr.

    Responding to the video, Spurs fans were sympathetic to the plight of Rose.

    Rose is back at the North London club despite his previously strained relationship with the hierarchy.
    The left-back was made to apologise after giving a bombshell interview to The Sun in 2017 where he bemoaned his low wages and the lack of high-profile signings at the club.
    He was also frozen out at Spurs by former manager Jose Mourinho and made to train with the U23s.
    The All or Nothing Amazon documentary later showed him describing some of his team-mates as “s***”.
    Rose also had a run-in with ex-Watford manager Claudio Ranieri who branded him unfit. More

    But there is “no progress” on a fresh deal for the youngster and Southampton could examine a move.
    The team hierarchy are not “actively seeking” to sell him but could weigh up options depending on other business this summer.
    The South coast club may want a new full-back to compete with Walker-Peters in cover for Tino Livramento, who faces a long-term absence after a horrific knee injury.
    Walker-Peters has since established himself as a key player under Ralph Hassenhuttl.

    And Gareth Southgate rewarded the versatile full-back with a first Three Lions call-up last season.
    In 37 games in all competitions last campaign, he chipped in with two goals and four assists.
    Arsenal legend Ian Wright criticised Tottenham for allowing Walker-Peters to depart in the first place.
    Wright he stated he should have been given more chances, which he may indeed get if the North London club initiate their buy-back option.
    He said: “Kyle Walker-Peters. Its great to see him.
    “When I watched Serge Aurier for a couple of games I’m thinking, I’m sorry, Kyle Walker-Peters is a better player.
    “They brought Emerson Royal in and I’m saying I’m sorry, he’s a better player.
    “And even with Doherty, who does great stuff going forward, I’ve watched Walker-Peters and I’m glad he’s got the call-up [for England].

    Memphis Depay ready to snub Tottenham transfer as Barcelona star is ‘not tempted’ by Spurs offer

    MEMPHIS DEPAY will snub a move to Tottenham in favour of staying at Barcelona, reports suggest. Tottenham want to recruit Depay to add more firepower to their already stacked attacking options.

    However, Depay is ‘not tempted’ by a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite their newfound pull following the return of Champions League football.
    This is according to Spanish outlet Sport, who claim Barcelona want just £17million for him.
    The Manchester United flop joined Barcelona on a free transfer last summer after an impressive few years with Ligue 1 side Lyon.
    But the loss of Lionel Messi and the generally dysfunctional set-up the team had saw Barcelona suffer a disappointing start.

    Despite this Depay, 28, enjoyed a good start at the Nou Camp, with eight goals from his first 15 LaLiga appearances.
    A hamstring injury immediately followed by an achilles tendon issue saw him miss almost two months worth of action, and with the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, his place in the team was lost.
    This is where Spurs come in, hoping to take advantage of Barcelona’s dire financial situation which has been revealed.
    Depay wants to stay at Barcelona but only if he is playing regularly.

    And with the arrivals of Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha expected this summer, a place in the starting XI will be even harder to come by – and Spur believed they could use this to their advantage.
    Spurs have already taken one player off of Barcelona’s hands with the loan acquisition of defender Clement Lenglet.
    They have also brought in Yves Bissouma and Richarlison for a combined £85m, with Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster joining on free transfers.
    Antonio Conte already has England captain Harry Kane and last season’s golden boot winner Son Hueng-Min, as well as Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Moura and new arrival Richarlison.
    The Kane-Son-Kulusevski combo netted Spurs 61 goal contributions in the Premier League last season.

    Tottenham finally ready to shed ‘Spursy’ tag as boss Antonio Conte brings in quality and experience early

    IT might be time to forget all you thought you knew about Tottenham.­And believe me, as someone who has covered that club for the past two decades, that is no easy task.
    Tottenham fans are looking ahead to the season under Antonio ConteCredit: Getty
    There have been certain truths universally acknowledged about Tottenham, even during the relatively good times.
    Spurs will lack ambition. Spurs will panic buy on deadline day. Spurs will not buy experienced players with no resale value. Spurs will lack sufficient squad depth. Spurs will have great players but not a great team. The Spurs manager will be frustrated with the Spurs chairman. Spurs will flatter to deceive. Spurs will be soft.
    Spurs will be Spursy — an adjective with no precise definition but one recognised by all who  follow football.
    And we all know the famous three-word Sir Alex Ferguson team talk, revealed by Roy Keane, when the great man entered the Manchester United dressing room and simply said: “Lads, it’s Tottenham.”

    We thought we understood all of this.
    But suddenly, in this long, hot summer of love, it looks as if we’re going to have to unlearn the lot.
    Because Spurs are buying early. They are buying experience. They are buying quality.
    They are building a squad equipped to compete in the Champions League and Premier League. They are showing ambition.

    Manager Antonio Conte is not frustrated with chairman Daniel Levy, because money-man Joe Lewis has opened the coffers and poured in £150million.
    Conte felt he wasn’t backed by Roman Abramovich after his initial, title-winning season at Chelsea.
    So surely skinflint Spurs could never satisfy the turbulent Italian? Wrong again.
    The word is that Tottenham is a remarkably happy ship – and that’s never a sentence I’ve committed to print before.
    There is ambition and investment and happiness and harmony and apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves.
    I am weirded out by this phenomenon and I’m sure most Spurs fans are too.
    But after last summer’s catastrophe — when they spent 72 days trying to find a replacement for Jose Mourinho, only to end up with Nuno Dispirito Santo, and when Harry Kane attempted his jailbreak — Spurs are winning this transfer window.
    Richarlison, Yves  Bissouma, Clement Lenglet and Ivan Perisic are all high-class, oven-ready recruits.
    They have been signed well before the start of the season and there should be more to come, including the exciting wing-back Djed Spence.
    Daniel Levy is backing the Italian all the wayCredit: Getty
    Chairman Levy has torn up his rulebook, chucked away his reputation for last-gasp, tight-fisted ball-busting and is giving Conte what he wants.
    Even seasoned Levy-watchers, including those who’ve done business with the man for 20 years, are staggered.
    Heaven knows what Mauricio Pochettino —  easily the best Spurs boss of the last four decades — must make of it all.
    Even when the Argentine was leading Spurs to the 2019 Champions League final, he was complaining — quite rightly — that the strength of his squad was being diluted.
    How he’d have loved a summer window like the one Conte is enjoying.
    The Italian spent most of last season agitating and threatening the club’s hierarchy, all while leading Spurs back into the European elite after a two-year absence.
    It felt highly unlikely Conte would still be around for this coming season.
    It felt even less likely that he would be happy with life.
    When he was appointed, Conte challenged Levy and Lewis to match the club’s world-class stadium with a world-class football set-up.
    It seemed a pipe dream but now it feels plausible.
    During Nuno’s reign it also seemed impossible Kane could be truly happy at Spurs again. Yet the England skipper is said to be relishing a new season.
    Of course, Spurs could lose at home to Southampton on the first day, Conte could chuck a wobbler and we could all be relieved by the comforting familiarity of it all.
    Third place in the league and a domestic cup to end a 15-year trophy drought would be a very successful season. It may not satisfy Conte, a serial title-winner with Juventus, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
    So it might not last long. It might be another false dawn. It might all go pear-shaped and Spursy.
    But for now, Tottenham look serious. Tottenham look like they’re for real.
    Try to get your head around that if you can.
    Let’s not slam him 
    ON Centre Court, after losing to Novak Djokovic, Nick Kyrgios was asked by Sue Barker whether reaching his first Grand Slam final had made him hungry for more. He replied ‘absolutely not!’
    Later, in his press conference, Kyrgios claimed if he had won Wimbledon, he would probably have struggled for motivation.
    The temptation is to condemn him as a waster of extraordinary talent.
    But to possess supreme levels of ability, without supreme levels of commitment, is not a crime.
    Some people, like Aussie Kyrgios, just aren’t built to be 21-time Grand Slam champions.
    Kyrgios is an immensely complex character, who can be loveable and hateable several times in the same interview.
    But he is a true entertainer and that is what sport is supposed to be all about.
    Norman wisdom
    GOOD ON the R&A, ­organisers of The Open Championship, for barring ex-winner Greg Norman from events to celebrate its 150th anniversary.
    The Great White Shark’s status as the great white stooge for the Saudi-backed rebel LIV tour makes Norman a pariah.
    After the All England Club banned Russian tennis players from Wimbledon, we’re seeing  remarkable change from some of Britain’s sporting administrators.
    Often seen as clueless  fuddy-duddies, they are taking positive action in standing up to tyrants and rogues.
    They deserve immense respect.
    Full Price rip-off
    CONTRARY to popular belief, many Fulham supporters are not posh or minted.
    Many struggle to make ends meet, some of us even have to carve out a living in sports journalism . . .
    There has been a tide of protest and criticism at the pricing of tickets for Fulham’s season-opener against Liverpool on August 6.
    They are a minimum of £65 for adults — with even OAP and student tickets in Craven Cottage’s new Riverside Stand costing £100.
    These prices are scandalous — especially during a cost-of-living crisis — and there will be similar outrages at other Premier League clubs, especially in the capital.
    Away tickets in the top flight are capped at £30.
    There should also be a percentage of home tickets capped at a similar price.
    Too Wild, Del
    I WAS at the O2 Arena to see Derek Chisora defeat fellow veteran heavyweight Kubrat Pulev in an enjoyable slug-fest on Saturday.
    Chisora has always belonged in the level below world class. But the fact that he’s fought world champions Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Vitali Klitschko, David Haye and Joseph Parker is testament to the size of his cojones.
    Yet in this most dangerous of sports, there should always be limits. When the 38-year-old Brit called out Deontay Wilder, you had to hope Chisora will not get his wish.
    Pipe down
    AUSSIE Steve Smith voiced doubts England will carry their ultra-positive approach to Test cricket into next year’s Ashes — and Australia were promptly stuffed by an innings in Sri Lanka.
    As his most-notable innovation involved the illegal use of sandpaper, he might wish to pipe down a bit.
    Harry still leader
    NO complaints with Erik ten Hag’s decision to keep Harry Maguire as Manchester United’s captain.
    Maguire has always seemed a genuine leader.
    The issue is whether he is a genuine top-class centre-half. More
