Tottenham fullback Djed Spence has been offered to Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool as the summer transfer window heats up, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
The versatile defender, who can operate seamlessly on both the right and left flanks, is currently assessing his options ahead of the new campaign as he seeks guaranteed first-team football.
Ben Jacobs: Djed Spence offered to Man United and Liverpool
Speaking on The United Stand, Ben Jacobs revealed that Spence’s name has been actively circulated among top English clubs as a potential target for full-back reinforcement.
“They might sign a right-sided full-back who can play on the other side,” Jacobs said. “Djed Spence is a name on the player side who has been offered around. He’s been offered to Liverpool, been offered to Manchester United.
I’m not aware yet whether the clubs are interested in that deal, but Spence wants to go somewhere he can play week-in, week-out, whether that’s on the right or the left.”

While neither Manchester United nor Liverpool have entered advanced negotiations at this stage, both clubs continue to evaluate options to strengthen their options on the flanks.
Djed Spence open to Spurs exit in search of regular playing time
Despite demonstrating his individual quality in spurts, competition for places in Tottenham’s defensive setup has left his minutes constrained, prompting the defender to look elsewhere for week-in, week-out action.
Fantastic World Cup performances has made him a wanted man
Spence’s reputation received a significant boost following a series of impressive displays on the international stage.
His dynamic, high-energy performances during the World Cup underlined his ability to handle elite opposition and contribute actively to both defensive and attacking phases from full-back positions.
Those standout individual showcases have elevated his profile across Europe. While Spurs decision-makers may weigh whether to retain him, Spence’s ambition for primary selection status could accelerate a high-profile move before the transfer window shuts.
we should be keeping hold of spence hes a good attacking player
Well I think Djed Spence is a plater LFC should buy to solve their current right back dilemmas – for me it is a no brainer – because Djed Spence is a good player/he is a better player than Jeremy Frimpong by a country mile – Hughes ell Frimpong now and buy Djed Spence/it is one innediate problem out of the way…then all you need to do is buy a REAL No.6 who can tackle ruthlessly. Buy Mbaye and firget about Barcola. YNWA.
Stop writing nonsense. Spence is going nowhere. Even with Spence Spurs will have a squad size of 21. Without him 19. No Point in buying expensive foreign players if they will not get into the squad because of the limited squad size. Then remember the number of injuries in the last two seasons. With Spence you can have 15 foreign players. Two will be goalkeepers. So a total of 13 outfield players. Without Spence that drops to 12. Spence will be first choice for left back, UDogie will not make the Squad. Robertson will get minutes and cup games. Do Journalists not get taught arithmetic.
