Tottenham given Andy Robertson twist after key detail of potential Liverpool deal

Tottenham supporters have secured Andy Robertson’s January deal Spurs are eyeing for the Liverpool legend.

Tottenham are in talks to sign Andy Robertson from Liverpool

Today, news emerged that Tottenham are now in negotiations with the Reds over a transfer for Robertson.

Tottenham have accelerated their pursuit of the 31-year-old by submitting plans to secure the Liverpool defender this month rather than waiting until the summer, with discussions believed to be ongoing between all parties.

The Scotland captain has reportedly been identified as a free transfer target for the upcoming season when his contract at Anfield expires in June.

However, Tottenham moved quickly to begin discussions with Liverpool over an immediate switch in January, surprising many observers with the timing of their approach.

Robertson’s situation at Liverpool has changed dramatically this season following the arrival of Milos Kirkes from Bournemouth in the summer.

Tottenham have entered talks.

The left-back, who has made 363 appearances for Liverpool, has been restricted to just four league appearances this season – a significant drop for a player who has been integral to the club’s success since joining for £8m from Hull City in 2017.

The veteran full-back admitted earlier this month that talks with his family would be necessary before deciding his next move, admitting he is still a player desperate for regular minutes.

Tottenham’s urgency stems from Ben Davies suffering from a serious ankle problem, leaving Thomas Frank short of experienced options at left-back.

The Dane has endured a difficult start to life in north London, hampered by mounting injury problems that have affected key players throughout his squad.

Robertson will bring a huge pedigree to the Tottenham squad, having claimed nine major trophies during his time at Liverpool including two Premier League titles and a Champions League triumph.

His leadership credentials and proven ability at the highest level represent exactly the qualities Spurs will be hoping will stabilize their difficult campaign, with reports suggesting Robertson has already given the green light to Tottenham.

While there are expectations that the former Dundee United and Hull City star will be a high-earner at Tottenham, with Matt law reporting that he earns around £160,000 per week at Anfield, his January capture fee could be a bargain.

That’s according to Alasdair Gold, who shared an evolving hearing about the fees potentially involved this evening.

According to a football.london reporter, Tottenham would actually sign Robertson for much cheaper than a lot of reported fees if they could strike a deal – considering he is in the final six months of his deal and will soon turn 32.

It could turn out to be a genius move by Spurs given their need to cover Davies, not to mention the massive pedigree Robertson would bring to the Spurs dressing room.

The only sticking points are his high wages and longevity, meaning he is not a long-term solution, but perhaps this is a statement of intent from Tottenham’s much-criticized ownership that they are actually serious about competition now.

It has been a nightmare start for Frank, but a character like Robertson could be the perfect injection of experience and leadership into the Lilywhites dressing room.
