Djed Spence was excellent for Nottingham Forest against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday evening despite being on the losing side. Arsenal would have been particularly pleased with his performance as he put in a level of performance that Cedric Soares couldn’t match.
Arsenal also lost to Liverpool in the Premier League recently. A big reason for the defeat was due to Cedric’s inability to lockdown the Gunners’ right-hand side, as both of the visitors' goals had come from the Portuguese international’s area of the pitch.
With Mikel Arteta reportedly being in Spence, the difference in his performance against Liverpool, compared to Cedric’s was certainly telling. It should be enough proof that Arsenal should go through with their attempts to sign the young full-back.
