Ben Jacobs provides Djed Spence to Liverpool update

As per Jacobs, Liverpool are not currently working on a deal for the 25-year-old defender.

While Spence is understood to be open to leaving Tottenham this summer and has been offered to several Premier League clubs, Liverpool have opted to focus their attention on other transfer targets.

Jacobs posted on X:

“Liverpool not currently working on Djed Spence. Spence is open to a move away from Spurs and has been offered to several clubs, but LFC are focused on other targets as it stands.”

Spence has attracted attention after being offered to top-flight sides, including Manchester United.

However, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi retains an interest in keeping the defender within his squad setup.

For now, Liverpool have chosen not to formalise any interest, leaving Spence’s immediate future uncertain as his camp continues to explore potential suitors before the transfer window closes.

Spence would be a great signing for Liverpool

The lack of concrete action from Liverpool may surprise some, given Spence’s recent impressive displays on the international stage.

The versatile defender showcased his top-tier talent during England’s run at the 2026 World Cup, delivering standout performances, most notably in their quarter-final victory over Norway, where his dynamic runs and defensive composure proved crucial in extra time.

Capable of operating effectively on either flank as a right-back or left-back, Spence possesses the tactical flexibility and homegrown status that would make him a valuable addition to Andoni Iraola’s squad.

His proven ability at the international level demonstrates he has the dynamic qualities to thrive at a top-four club, even if Liverpool’s recruitment team is currently prioritizing other areas of the pitch.
