The report says Liverpool’s need has grown after Conor Bradley’s injury, while Jeremie Frimpong is viewed as more effective higher up the pitch. If that is the club’s view, the logic behind Spence is clear.
That profile matters. Modern full-backs are judged as much on recovery runs and transition defending as on crossing or overlap play. Spence appears to tick those boxes.
From Tottenham’s side, the price is the story. £35m is a firm starting point, not a bargain tag. The report also says Pedro Porro remains the established first-choice right-back, which leaves Spence competing for minutes, especially if there is no European schedule to stretch the squad.
That creates a familiar transfer-market tension:
The same update says Inter Milan and Manchester United have also been linked. Even if that interest is only exploratory, it strengthens Tottenham’s hand and raises the likelihood of a longer negotiation.
The next step is whether this turns from interest into a formal push. If Liverpool really want a right-back before the new season, Spence is a name worth watching closely over the coming weeks.
