According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea want Djed Spence from Nottingham Forest as a possible replacement for England international Reece James.

The 21-year-old english star is about to return to Middlesbrough within the summer but the blues are set to sell the player for around £17million. Reece, on the opposite hand, was unveiled at an equivalent time as Real Madrid, with central defense showing interest. Djed was a revelation at City Ground.

He was a mainstay within the Tricky Trees team with Steve Cooper and therefore the only match he missed was against Boro.

Nottingham Forest will rush in to sign him directly; However, this is often preliminary because the club reach the Premier League. The Blues want him if Reece gives in to the interest of the UEFA Champions League finalists. He has made himself fashionable Forest fans with a string of fine performances. As a result, it might hurt if they weren't promoted and forced to watch a european giant snag the talent.

It's fine for them to keep Spence but ultimately it'll be difficult to urge him albeit the club is promoted.Djed has clearly enjoyed his football at his current team but if the Blues call there might be little Forest could do.
