[Liverpool are interested in Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence](https://x.com/szyexcl/status/2085093583703482729).
The full-back’s versatility and physical profile make him a strong candidate to bolster Liverpool’s defensive options, and Spence is open to a move to Anfield.
However, finalising any potential deal will require meeting firm financial demands from North London. Tottenham are in no rush to sell and would seek a fee of at least £35m to consider sanctioning Spence’s departure.
With the 25-year-old under contract at Spurs following an extension signed last year, Tottenham maintain significant negotiating leverage and will not entertain discounted bids.
Spence’s reputation rose following an outstanding individual campaign with the England national team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Deployed effectively on both flanks by Thomas Tuchel, Spence proved his reliability in high-stakes one-on-one defensive duels and transition play, demonstrating the athletic dynamism that Liverpool values in wide defenders.
Adding a player of Spence’s calibre would address ongoing depth requirements at Anfield, particularly given recent injury issues in Liverpool’s defensive department. His ability to operate comfortably as either a right-back or left-back provides crucial flexibility.
While rival clubs in the Premier League and Serie A have also enquired about the defender’s availability, Liverpool’s interest makes them a strong contender for his signature.
Should the Reds decide to submit a bid approaching Spurs’ £35m threshold, negotiations could progress rapidly.
Liverpool could look to leverage Tottenham’s interest in Cody Gakpo, although the Reds have not yet indicated a willingness to part with their Dutch attacker.
However, that could change quickly depending on the outcome of the Bradley Barcola pursuit.
