Everton offered Tottenham Hotspur £25 million for Djed Spence | OneFootball

Everton have reportedly tried to pay Tottenham Hotspur £25 million to sign Liverpool target Djed Spence.

The Spurs star is likely to leave the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club this summer, and both the Toffees and Reds want him.

Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola wants to bring a right-back who can defend to Anfield, while his Everton counterpart David Moyes is desperate for reinforcement in the position.

The Toffees have offered £25m for Spence, but Tottenham want at least £35m, and Liverpool are keeping tabs on his situation.

The 25-year-old is open to joining the Reds, but nothing concrete is happening right now as Iraola has other options on his radar.

Premier League legends Gary Neville and Ian Wright recently admitted that Spence was England’s best defender this summer following his impressive displays at the World Cup.

He is not in the plans of Lilywhites manager Roberto De Zerbi from the look of things, but he will not be short of suitors in and outside of the Premier League this summer.

Everton could do with such a right-back, but they must be willing to part with at least £35m.

Spurs could demand more from suitors as Spence increased his value with his outstanding World Cup performances.

The Toffees also have Celtic’s Alistair Johnston and RB Leipzig’s Ridle Baku as targets in the position and could be looking to sign a player for around £25m.

Liverpool are always ready to splash the cash and will likely pip their city rivals to the Spurs star if it comes down to the money.
