Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso (Picture: AP) Chelsea have been urged to launch a late bid to sign England full-back Djed Spence after he was offered to both Liverpool and Manchester United. Spence has spent just two full seasons at Spurs having initially struggled to secure a first-team role following his £20million move from Championship side Middlesbrough four years ago. But the 25-year-old enhanced his reputation at this summer’s World Cup, producing several standout performances in an England shirt as Thomas Tuchel’s side finished third in North America. Despite those performances, Spence does not appear to be guaranteed regular minutes at Tottenham this season, with Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro preferred by Roberto De Zerbi on both flanks.

And Spence is therefore keen to seek a summer exit from Spurs, with reports earlier in the week suggesting that both Liverpool and United had been offered the chance to sign the versatile full-back. But former Chelsea midfielder Andy Townsend believes the Blues should join the race to sign the Englishman as they look to bolster their options at full-back following the departure of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid. ‘I don’t know what he would cost because of how well he did at the World Cup,’ Townsend told talkSPORT. ‘Has that inflated his price tag unreasonably? I genuinely haven’t got a clue. Djed Spence impressed at the World Cup with England (Picture: Getty) ‘If Cucurella is going to Real Madrid for over £60million, I would have thought Djed Spence at £40million, something around that figure, would be a decent acquisition. ‘It wouldn’t do them any harm to have someone who is still looking to improve as a player, who is all ears and wants to get better. ‘He is now showing what he is capable of, so that would be a good piece of business.’ Chelsea may have to move quickly if they are to secure Spence’s signature, though, with reports suggesting that Inter Milan have now entered talks with Spurs over a deal for the defender. Townsend: 'Sanchez not a title-winning goalkeeper' Robert Sanchez (Picture: Reuters) Elsewhere, Townsend urged his former club to find a replacement for Robert Sanchez, who has never fully convinced since his £25m move from Brighton in 2023. ‘Robert Sanchez is one of those goalkeepers that Monday to Friday, he must be unbelievable,’ he added. ‘He must be plucking them out of the top corner and making saves from all angles – he must be brilliant. ‘Everyone at the club thinks there is a proper goalkeeper there, whereas most of us are waiting for a lapse in concentration. You are just waiting for him to scupper all of the good work that clearly he can do. ‘I would have thought that if Chelsea want to win the league, and I am sure they will want to again at some point, they are going to have to upgrade. But they obviously haven’t seen anything they really fancy, so they are going to continue to go with Sanchez.’ Inter are keen to strengthen at right-back after the departure of Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid. A fee in the region of €30million (£25.6m) could be enough for Spurs to sell Spence, who is under contract until the summer of 2028. Spence would follow in the footsteps of international colleague John Stones, who departed Manchester City to join the Serie A giants on a free transfer last month. Speaking earlier in pre-season, Spurs manager De Zerbi stressed that he is keen for Spence to stay at the club but said he would not stand in the way of any player if they want to move. ‘I repeat what I said to Djed, and to Lucas [Bergvall],’ De Zerbi said. ‘I would like you to stay if you want to stay. If you don’t want to stay, if you want to leave, then you have to leave.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Newcastle have so far rebuffed Manchester United (Picture: Getty) Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall still wants to force through a move to Manchester United despite being told he will not be sold this summer. Michael Carrick has expressed interest in bringing the left-back to Old Trafford to provide cover and competition for Luke Shaw. Shaw enjoyed one of his best seasons last term, featuring in all 38 of the club’s Premier League games, but United are wary about his workload given Champions League football is on the horizon. Manchester United made an approach to Newcastle for Hall, who has developed into one of the best left-backs in the Premier League over the past two seasons. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Shaw’s form at St James’ Park since his £35m move from Chelsea earned him an England call-up last year, although he was left out of Thomas Tuchel’s squad for the recent World Cup. Newcastle have already lost manager Eddie Howe, midfielder pair Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, and winger Anthony Gordon this summer. Unwilling to sell any more integral members of their first-team squad, Newcastle informed Manchester United that Hall was not for sale. Newcastle and England defender Lewis Hall (Picture: Getty) But The Sun say Hall remains keen to force through a move away from Newcastle and has made it clear he wants to join the Red Devils. Hall felt Howe cost him a place in England’s World Cup squad but still wants to leave despite the change in the dugout, with Matthias Jaissle taking over at St James’ Park. Newcastle are in a strong negotiating position given Hall is still contracted to the club until 2029 but are aware several players are concerned about the direction of the club. Manchester United boss Michael Carrick (Picture: Getty) The Magpies finished just 12th in the Premier League last season after previously qualifying for the Champions League and have seen several key players depart. Jermaine Jenas, the former Newcastle midfielder, has told Hall that joining Manchester United would be a ‘great move’. ‘I think it’s a great move for him, I really do,’ Jenas, who spent three years at Newcastle, told 10bet. ‘He’s had a fantastic couple of years at Newcastle. I think he was obviously a huge Newcastle United fan after going there from Chelsea and so on, but he’s one of those players that people looked at and said he should probably be at the World Cup. ‘Like I said, he’s had a good, solid year; his development year-in, year-out seems to be getting better and better. ‘For a club like Manchester United to come in for him is a huge step in the right direction—not only for United, because he’s just consistent week-in, week-out, but it’s also a big loss for Newcastle, I’m not going to lie. ‘For him and his personal career, it’s a great move.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen (Picture: Getty) Michael Owen believes Arsenal are favourites to retain their Premier League title this season as he revealed his top-six prediction. Following three successive second-place finishes, Mikel Arteta finally guided Arsenal to their first league title in 22 years last season. And with pre-season well underway, the Gunners will soon turn their attention to the challenge of defending their title. The early arrivals of Christos Tzolis and Illan Meslier have been bolstered by the marquee arrival of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But the Gunners are still looking to strengthen on the left wing after missing out on Vinicius Junior, while a back injury to William Saliba has forced them to consider defensive reinforcements. Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Owen believes Arsenal should be considered favourites to win the title again this season, but insists the Gunners will face a battle on their hands from the chasing pack. ‘I think there can be a few title challengers this season,’ Owen told Metro. Arsenal will look to defend their title (Picture: Getty) ‘You look at Arsenal’s points tally and it wasn’t in the nineties so they only have to drop a little and with Chelsea not in Europe, they can mount a challenge. ‘New managers at Liverpool and City could hit a good run of form early on and be in with a shout as well. Tottenham have signed well too. ‘So Arsenal are favourites for sure, but it’s not a foregone conclusion that they win it comfortably.’ It has been a busy off-season for virtually all of Arsenal’s potential title rivals, with a slew of managerial changes ahead of the new season. Andoni Iraola is the new man in the dugout on Merseyside (Picture: Getty) Enzo Maresca is back at Manchester City, while Andoni Iraola and Xabi Alonso have been tasked with improving the fortunes of Liverpool and Chelsea after their respective poor domestic campaigns last season. And Owen has faith that the Spaniards can do just that as he tipped Liverpool and Chelsea to be Arsenal’s closest rivals this season. ‘Last season at Liverpool wasn’t great, the style of play wasn’t as good as it had been and they conceded far too many goals,’ Owen said. ‘But Slot leaving and Iraola replacing him means a new style of play. He brings a lot of excitement from the way he played at Bournemouth, but Liverpool are a much bigger club and the pressure mounts up now. Xabi Alonso has taken over at Chelsea (Picture: Getty) ‘I do think Liverpool need more, but it looks like Barcola is the one they want and it will cost them a huge amount of money to get him in. But if they can do that and add more depth, more quality, then they can really challenge for the title.’ On Chelsea’s title hopes, Owen added: ‘Chelsea have once again spent big in the transfer window, but maybe this time, they have a manager who can control the dressing room and get the best out of the players, for them to play as a team and be consistent. ‘It is a big factor not having European football and should give them a chance to perform well during the season.’ Having come in midway through last season as an interim, Michael Carrick is also preparing for his first full season in charge at Old Trafford. Owen's predicted top-six for this season Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea Manchester City Manchester United Tottenham But Owen fears that the added demands of Champions League football will cost the Red Devils in the league this time around. ‘I don’t think the squad is there right now,’ he said. ‘They need to add a few more players to cope with the increased demands of all competitions, especially the Champions League. ‘I would think Man Utd are looking to strengthen more and I would be surprised if they didn’t. ‘So I am hoping they can add more quality, more dep
