Everton have registered an interest in Djed Spence this summer.
David Moyes wants Everton to sign Spence as his new right-back following Seamus Coleman’s departure.
Initially, it was reported that Tottenham Hotspur would sanction his sale for £25m, but after his outstanding World Cup campaign, they’ve upped it to around £30m.
Just focusing on Everton’s right-back search, who should the club bring in this summer and why? 🤔
From Spence, to White, to Norton-Cuffy, there have been links to so many players so far…
The Toffees target was in action for England last night and helped Thomas Tuchel’s side defeat France 6-4 in the World Cup third-place final.
Here’s what the national media had to say about Spence’s performance.
Everton target Djed Spence impresses at World Cup once again
Spence started at left-back for England against France and produced yet another superb display on the world’s biggest stage.
Here’s what TNT Sports had to say.
8/10 – “Growing into his new acclaim as England’s right-footed left-back, winning the crucial penalty off Malo Gusto just when his side were in need of respite. At times, caught too high up the pitch when a more defensive-minded full-back would have used his experience. Having been faced with the task of thwarting the likes of Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez in Wednesday’s semi-final, this became an onerous task after the break, but Spence relished the challenge.”
The Standard stated.
8/10 – “Put in another phenomenal shift to complete his full World Cup transformation. Made plenty of tackles and was always positive in his movement with the ball to try and carry England up the pitch.”
Livescore added.
7.5/10 – “Outstanding first-half display from left-back, drew the crucial penalty and made key defensive interventions throughout.”
Everton showing an interest in Jacob Murphy… does that inspire you Toffees fans? 🤔
Sports Illustrated said.
6.9/10 – “Picked up where he left off in the semifinals. Used his speed to silence Olise in the first half and had fun pushing forward. Won a penalty to restore England’s cushion.”
Spence’s performances for England have actually done Everton no favours, as there is fresh interest from Inter Milan for his signature.
It’s also now claimed that Spence wants Champions League football, so there are certainly obstacles to overcome for Moyes to land his full-back target.
The 25-year-old’s stock has never been higher, which makes it a difficult deal to do for the Toffees.
