Liverpool / Tottenham Hotspur - League Cup - Anfield, undefined  Liverpool FC

Spence has spent just two full seasons at Spurs having initially struggled to secure a first-team role following his £20 million move from Championship side Middlesbrough four years ago.

The 25-year-old was one of England’s standout performers at the World Cup this summer and showed impressive versatility as he played on both the right and left side of Thomas Tuchel’s defence.

The left-back will remain in the Premier League by completing a switch to Spurs upon the expiry of his Liverpool contract.

Robertson brought the curtain down on his iconic Reds career in May after nine seasons.

Signed from Hull City in the summer of 2017, the Scot went on to make 378 appearances, score 14 goals and register 69 assists during his time at Anfield.

He played a vital role in Liverpool lifting two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Emirates FA Cup and a pair of Carabao Cups.

The 25-year-old has been one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers over the past two seasons, and his development has not gone unnoticed across England’s elite.

However, Tottenham believe they may hold a key advantage. Roberto De Zerbi is keen to reunite with Van Hecke after their time together at Brighton & Hove Albion, and that connection could prove decisive.

And despite sources confirming that an agreement has been reached with Spurs, the Reds could beat them to the punch thanks to FOUR key factors.

The Bournemouth star has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most stylish centre-halves, mixing both defensive authority and reading of the game, with his superb ability to pick out several progressive passes to get his side up the field.

Now, just a year after losing one defensive colossus in Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, the Cherries are facing the loss of a second in Senesi.

Tottenham reached a £12million agreement with Croatian outfit Hajduk Split for Vuskovic back in 2023, a deal that saw the youngster join up with Spurs last summer.

The 19-year-old hit the ground running in a Spurs shirt, scoring and providing an assist in his unofficial debut during a pre-season friendly with Reading.

And while Tottenham were keen to keep hold of Vuskovic this season, the player himself requested a loan move in order to secure regular first-team minutes so as not to hamper his development.

The Reds opened the scoring via a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick in the Premier League contest at Anfield on Sunday.

Richarlison's late equaliser, however, saw the points shared on Merseyside between the teams.
