Everton<\/a> have got a right-back problem. They can no longer fall back on the ever-reliable Seamus Coleman, who has called it a day on his career, and it’s becoming obvious that Jake O’Brien’s future should be as a centre-back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Their solution lies in the transfer market and could be closer to home than they first thought, having set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur star Djed Spence.<\/p>\n Football FanCast’s Verdict<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n Credibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/th>\n The Athletic have provided an update on Everton’s pursuit of a right-back, name-dropping both Spence and Arsenal’s Ben White. It remains to be seen who they prioritise, but both are feasible targets this summer.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Finances<\/p>\n<\/th>\n In terms of valuation, a transfer fee is yet to emerge for Spence. The World Cup could still complicate things if he takes his performance and price-tag to another level, forcing Everton to consider their options.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Insight<\/p>\n<\/th>\n Spence can play both left-back and right-back, and is a full international for England these days. Despite Spurs’ struggles last season, he remains one of the best one-on-one fullbacks in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Impact<\/p>\n<\/th>\n It could all come down to Spurs’ asking price. If it’s in reach for Everton, then they should be expected to make their move for the England star this summer.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n Spence would be an excellent signing for the Toffees, as they look to finally solve their right-back problem. Having already signed Hayden Hackney and Tyrique George, the fullback would be another statement of intent.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to The Athletic’s Patrick Boyland, Everton are now targeting Spence this summer<\/a> as part of their search for a right-back. Ben White<\/a> is also a name on their radar after the Arsenal man fell down the pecking order in North London.<\/p>\n As things stand, the two Premier League defenders sit higher on Everton’s list than Guela Doue, who has been deemed too expensive for the Toffees to pursue.<\/p>\n\n\n
