Tuesday evening’s clash with Middlesbrough in the FA Cup third round replay wasn’t entirely comfortable – especially when they more than made a match of it inside of the final ten minutes and made it 2-1 – but we saw it out and took a deserved win to put our hat in the next round and in a week and a bit, we make the trip to Southampton for the next round. With plenty of questions surrounding the right back position, youngster Japhet Tanganga was a huge plus from the night’s action, but it seems a number of Tottenham Hotspur fans also had their head turned by Boro’s Djed Spence.
According to a report from the London Evening Standard, manager Jose Mourinho has already put the 19-year-old on his watch list and with speculation continuing to link us with Norwich City’s Max Aarons, plenty feel Spence has shown enough to be a cheaper, alternative option.
[@DExpress_Sport] | Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in signing Norwich right-back Max Aarons, and are in constant communication with the defender’s agent.

Reflecting on Spence’s performance prior to his substitution, these fans may have a point, even if Tanganga would now be most fans preferred option for the role.
Spence looks very decent

Anybody else think Spence, the Boro right back looked a real prospect?
