Arsenal and Tottenham joined by Bayern Munich in transfer chase for Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence

BAYERN MUNICH have joined Arsenal and Tottenham in the race for Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence, according to reports.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest from Middlesbrough and has attracted the attention of some huge clubs during his spell.

The Gunners have had him on their radar ever since they were subject to a 1-0 defeat against Forest in January.

Following the game Ian Wright described his performance as 'one of the best right-back performances I have seen for a very long time'.

Tottenham are also known to be interested in Spence.

Spurs had two bids rejected for the young star on deadline day in January – both were reportedly under Middlesbrough's £15million valuation.

However, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are now in the running to sign him.

According to Sky Sports, the German giants have been scouting Spence and will continue to do so in the coming weeks.
