Arsenal interest in Djed Spence
Goal reported last week that Arsenal want to sign Middlesbrough-owned right-back Spence in the summer of 2022.
The Gunners reportedly want cover for Japan international right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu and are eyeing a move for the 21-year-old.
The Northern Echo reported last month that Arsenal were planning to make a bid for the youngster on the final day of the January transfer window.
The report said that Middlesbrough value the youngster at £12-15 million.
Now, Arsenal may be keen on Spence, but striker Taylor believes that the youngster’s next club could be defending Premier League champions Manchester City, as you can see below.
