Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsLiverpool FCDjed Spence continues to be linked with a transfer to Liverpool in the summer transfer window as a potential option to cover the right-back positionDjed Spence has been linked with a potential transfer to Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images))Liverpool won't be pursuing a deal to sign Djed Spence from Tottenham this summer, despite recent issues persisting across the full-back positions.That's according to the Liverpool Echo, which claims that the Reds are not currently considering the England international, and there is "no intention" of making a move for the defender.It's suggested that the club won't be looking at a right-back, despite concerns over the position, with links to Spence persisting over the summer transfer window.The versatile defender impressed for England during the World Cup, but faces a challenge in getting game time for Tottenham when the new season rolls around.Pedro Porro's new contract on the right flank means he faces intense competition there, while Andy Robertson's arrival strengthens the left-back role, which already has Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies available.His availability would mean a move to Liverpool could make sense, especially considering the issues that the team has faced at right-back in the past year.Trent Alexander-Arnold's exit paved the way for Jeremie Frimpong's arrival, as well as an opportunity for Conor Bradley to grab the position as his own moving forward.Neither has managed to convince over the past year, with injury issues impacting both, as the latter continues to recover from a serious knee problem.That has naturally led to discussion over the depth available to Andoni Iraola, with many fans urging Liverpool to sign another right-back or a versatile option who could cover several positions.Andoni Iraola is eyeing a major transfer raid(Image: Michael Miller/ISI Photos, ISI Photos via Getty Images)Spence would naturally fit that role, but the stance of no move has seemingly put an end to the transfer rumors surrounding Liverpool's push for the 25-year-old.It remains to be seen exactly what the Reds can do before the transfer window comes to a close, with the current priority appearing to be in the forward ranks in the final few weeks.Talks are ongoing to sign Bradley Barcola from PSG, in a deal that appears to be complicated but with plenty of hope that it can get done.Ibrahim Mbaye, who also plays for the European champions, is another target separate to the French international to help add some depth to the wings before the season starts.Whether Liverpool will then change stance and focus on defenders or a midfielder before the window closes remains to be seen. But for now, it seems as though Spence won't be turning up in Liverpool red any time soon.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTottenham Hotspur FC
