Tottenham and Middlesbrough are reportedly in disagreement about a transfer fee for talented young wing-back Djed Spence.
The Teesside club are thought to want £15m plus add-ons for their 21-year-old star.
However, it is thought Champions League-bound Spurs are hoping to pay considerably less for Spence, who has been capped at England under-21 level.
The Sun report that representatives on the player's side are confident that an agreement will be reached, despite ongoing talks for several weeks without a resolution.
Spurs have kept tabs on Spence for a long time, and want to acquire the man immediately to address Antonio Conte's present shortcomings at wing-back.
