Everton have been looking at Djed Spence this summer as Inter Milan now push for him.

David Moyes' side are desperate to a land a player for the right-side of defence and after Spence's heroics for England at the World Cup, he is certainly an exciting option.

There is not long until the Premier League season kicks off and Everton supporters will not want to see Jake O'Brien once again start at right-back.

Spence's exit from Tottenham does now appear to be growing increasingly closer.

Inter Milan have opened talks to see if an agreement can be reached and for Everton, these reports should spark intrigue.

As it could allow them to enter back into the race and hijack the deal.

Why Everton can't ignore the latest on Djed Spence

Everton do not want to overpay for a right-back, and that is completely fair.

They have their valuations set, and if the selling club wants more, they are not afraid to walk away.

This has already been seen with Everton's pursuit of Alistair Johnston this window.

But in the case of Spence, they may be able to agree a deal at the price they set for him.

According to The Athletic, Tottenham are in active talks with Inter Milan to sell Spence for a fee around £25.6m, with Everton's previous interest once again mentioned.

However, for Everton, that reveal of the price is a significant update.

Earlier in the window, a Tottenham insider shared Everton wanted to pay £25m for Spence.

Now, with a deal reportedly being thrashed out with the Serie A side for a price around that figure, it is the perfect chance for the Blues to insert themselves into the saga and complete a hijack.

Why Spence is perfect right-back for Everton

There are plenty of reasons to like a potential move for Spence, but more important than the rest is that he is Premier League proven.

Right-back is a long-term problem for the Blues and signing a player who can instantly slot in and already know the demands of the league is a huge boost.

Spence is also a seasoned international now after he emerged as one of England's top players at the 2026 World Cup.

His speed and attacking qualites are also traits not currently in David Moyes' squad and could push the Blues to the next level in the final third.
