Everton Receive Boost In Signing £40m Defender: Why Is It A Big Risk?
Everton are reportedly close to signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Djed Spence for £40m, contingent on Spurs completing a deal for Nottingham Forest's Neco Williams. Former Everton CEO Keith Wyness explained the transfer chain reaction. Spence, who played 30 league matches for Tottenham last season with zero goals and zero assists, would fill the right-back void left by Seamus Coleman's departure. Everton manager David Moyes values Spence's versatility across defensive positions. However, the article questions the high fee given Spence's lack of attacking output, calling it a significant gamble for the club.
