Moyes Targets Djed Spence to Solve Everton’s Right-Back Void

Everton’s pursuit could shape their summer business if Tottenham entertains a formal offer after Spence returns from England’s World Cup duty.

Overview

  • Reports from Football Insider say Everton manager David Moyes is actively keen on signing Tottenham full-back Djed Spence as a priority transfer target.
  • No formal bid has been made public and sources say any deal would require Everton to lodge a firm offer and Spurs to be willing to negotiate.
  • Spence is currently with England at the World Cup and his immediate club future is expected to become clearer only after he returns from international duty.
  • Tottenham hold strong negotiating positions: Spence is under contract until 2029, is publicly valued near £26m, and Spurs have other right-back options such as Pedro Porro.
  • Everton view the signing as urgent because Seamus Coleman has left and the club used centre-back Jake O’Brien at right-back last season, so they are also tracking alternatives like Rico Lewis and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
