Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea are interested in signing Isaiah Jones from Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window, according to 90min.
The report has claimed that Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea all have been tracking the 22-year-old, who is a winger by trade but played mostly as a wing-back last season.
A number of Premier League clubs have expressed an interested in signing Jones, according to the report, which has quoted the English youngster as saying that he is happy at Championship club Middlesbrough.
90min have added that Tottenham are confident of signing Djed Spence from Boro this summer.
Spence, who spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest from Middlesbrough, can play as a winger, right-winger and right wing-back.
Could Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea sign Isaiah Jones?
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea would find it hard to sign Isaiah Jones from Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window.
Now, it looks likely that Spence will leave Boro.
So, surely Middlesbrough will not want to lose two right-sided players in the same window.
Yes, we know that money talks, but if Middlesbrough are to challenge for Premier League promotion next season, then they have to keep their best players.
Jones made 36 starts and six substitute appearances in the Championship for Boro last season.
The youngster scored one goal and gave eight assists in those games.
