Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on a deal for Middlesbrough defender Djed Spence.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest and has been in strong form for the Reds this season, scoring twice and providing three assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.
Tottenham Hotspur are believed to have tried to sign the right-back during the January transfer window but had two offers turned down by his parent club.
Spence still has more than two years left to run on his deal at the Riverside Stadium, but he is widely expected to join another club during this summer's window.
According to Sky Sports News, Bayern have sent scouts to watch the youngster in action for Forest in recent weeks and will continue to monitor his performances.
The report claims that the Bundesliga champions are now preparing to approach Middlesbrough to discuss a possible transfer during this summer's transfer window.
Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and Arsenal are also believed to be tracking his development this season.
