Liverpool have emerged as one of the clubs interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence before the transfer window closes. Spurs will listen to offers for the England international, although they can demand around £35 million for the versatile full-back.
Spence has enjoyed a rapid rise over the past year, impressing for both club and country. However, despite his performances, Tottenham’s strength in the full-back positions means his long-term future in North London is no longer guaranteed. Liverpool are now monitoring the situation as they continue searching for defensive reinforcements.
Liverpool register interest in Djed Spence
As reported by Football365, Liverpool are considering a move for Spence. Manager Andoni Iraola looks to strengthen his defensive options before the end of the transfer window.
Liverpool have signed only two players so far this summer: Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet. Although the club are still focused on signing attacking players, they also want to strengthen the defence. Injuries and a lack of depth at the back have made that a priority.
According to the report, Spence is “extremely receptive” to a move to Liverpool if the club make an official approach. He can play on both the left and right side of the defence, making him a valuable option for a squad that values versatility. Liverpool have not made a formal offer yet, and Spence is one of several defenders the club are considering before making a final decision.
Tottenham open to sale but want £35m
As reported by The Sun, Tottenham are willing to sell Spence this summer as Roberto De Zerbi continues reshaping his squad following two disappointing Premier League campaigns. Although Spence impressed during England’s World Cup run and was one of Tottenham’s better performers last season, competition remains fierce. Pedro Porro and Andy Robertson are expected to be the first-choice full-backs, which leaves Spence facing an uncertain role.
Tottenham have valued Spence at around £35 million. The price reflects his recent progress and his strong performances for England on the international stage. Spurs have already spent heavily this summer. They have signed Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes and Jan Paul van Hecke, while several young players have left the club on permanent deals. Money from those sales will help fund more signings as Roberto De Zerbi continues to rebuild the squad.

Competition for Spence remains strong
Liverpool are unlikely to have a clear path if they decide to pursue the defender. Clubs from both the Premier League and Serie A are monitoring Spence’s situation. Inter Milan have already held discussions over a possible move, while city rivals AC Milan are also interested.
The increasing number of admirers reflects the quality Spence has shown over the last year. His performances at the World Cup for England have elevated his profile. His ability to play comfortably at left-back and right-back has made him an attractive prospect for several clubs.
Former Premier League scout Bryan King also believes Tottenham should demand an even higher fee, suggesting the club would be making a mistake by accepting anything below £50 million for a player of Spence’s quality and potential.
Liverpool’s decision could depend on how the transfer market develops over the final weeks of the window. The club still want to strengthen their defence, but they also have other positions to address as Andoni Iraola continues to shape his squad for his style of football.
If Tottenham keep their £35 million asking price and Liverpool decide to make an offer, talks could become one of the biggest stories of the closing weeks of the window. Interest in Spence is growing across Europe, and reports say he is open to the move. His future is likely to remain a major talking point until the transfer deadline.
