‘This’ PL club is exploring a move for Djed Spence as Tottenham prepare to trim their squad under Roberto De Zerbi.
Everton have registered a concrete interest in Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence as they look to fortify their backline ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign. The Toffees are actively exploring market opportunities to add dynamic full-back options to their senior squad.
According to an update shared by Last Word On Spurs on X via SkySportsNews, the former England under-21 international has been discussed internally by the Everton hierarchy as a viable option for this summer window.
The Merseyside club is keen to capitalize on the defender’s current situation in North London to secure a reliable, top-flight asset.
A potential move to The Hill Dickinson could offer Spence the ideal platform to reignite his career following a turbulent few seasons since his high-profile move to Tottenham. The explosive full-back has found consistent first-team minutes incredibly hard to come by under various managerial regimes at Hotspur Way, leading to a series of temporary loan stints away from the club.
With head coach Roberto De Zerbi currently overseeing a massive squad reconstruction that has already seen the club commit £230 million on incoming talent, certain fringe players are expected to be sacrificed. Facilitating a move for Spence would allow technical director Johan Lange to trim the wage bill while continuing to streamline the squad ahead of the competitive kick-off.
Valuation and Market Dynamics
While Everton’s internal discussions represent an initial phase of interest, executing a deal will depend on matching Tottenham’s economic expectations. The Spurs board has shown a strict aversion to letting assets depart below value, meaning a permanent transfer package or a structured loan with an obligation to buy will likely dominate subsequent negotiations.
For Everton, securing an athletic full-back with Spence’s high ceiling aligns perfectly with their ongoing recruitment strategy of blending Premier League familiarity with room for development. Should formal discussions advance between the two clubs over the coming weeks, the move could provide a mutually beneficial solution for all parties involved in the deal.
