Liverpool are not currently eyeing up a move to sign Tottenham Hotspur star Djed Spence despite reports, Fabrizio Romano has told GIVEMESPORT's Market Madness podcast.
The Reds are looking to bolster their squad for new manager Andoni Iraola after seeing Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate, and Andy Robertson depart on free transfers this summer, while so far Spaniard Victor Munoz has arrived as a new signing, alongside Jeremy Jacquet, who signed in January for this window.
Robertson's departure, plus injury to Conor Bradley, has seen the full-back positions emerge as a position the club is reportedly targeting to strengthen, which has seen links to England international Spence, after it emerged he is likely to leave Spurs this summer.
Romano: Liverpool Not Interested in Spence
Spence enjoyed a fine season with Spurs last season as he helped the team to avoid relegation, before starring at the World Cup with England under Thomas Tuchel, with the Three Lions finishing third.
His ability to play on both flanks is seen as a huge positive for many, but Tottenham are understood to be willing to sanction a move away for the 25-year-old as they are well stocked on full-back options currently and he wants to play regularly.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with the former Middlesbrough star, but when asked about the situation on the Market Madness podcast, Romano revealed that he has been told there is nothing to the rumours.
"Djed Spence, at the moment, I don't have any concrete information on Liverpool, to be honest," he said.
"So let's see if they will jump into the race. But at the moment, I'm told there is not something concrete between Djed Spence and Liverpool so far."
Spence 'England's Best Defender'
Spence has been a late bloomer at the top level, having struggled to get game time for Leeds in the Championship during the 2023/24 season, before becoming a regular for England earlier this year.
Thomas Tuchel has sung his praises regularly, calling him the fastest player in the squad, while Arsenal and Man Utd legends Ian Wright and Gary Neville described him as England's best defender during the World Cup.
"Djed Spence was our best defender...he made decisive tackles."
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Spence as an alternative to Lewis Hall, while the Magpies are also looking at him as a potential replacement for the 21-year-old.
But Liverpool are not currently in the race for his signature despite their squad needs.
