Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly working on a deal to sign Liverpool star Andrew Robertson, according to transfer expert David Ornstein.
The Lilywhites currently have Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies as specialist options to deploy in the left-back position. Although Djed Spence is a right-footed player, he is comfortable in the LB role.
Furthermore, Spurs recently signed Souza from Brazilian side Santos, but he is still only a teenager and has no Premier League experience. Even Micky Van de Ven can provide cover in this position if necessary.
However, Udogie has struggled with fitness issues this season, while Davies’ season is almost over after he broke his ankle against West Ham United last weekend.
Now, move on The Athletics, Ornstein reports that Tottenham are planning to strengthen their left-back position this winter and have started ‘working’ on a deal to sign Robertson.
The Lilywhites initially planned to sign the Scot as a free agent at the end of the season, but have decided to bring the plan forward. Tottenham are in talks with Liverpool to complete the operation, and negotiations are progressing.
Robertson is an attacking full-back who can play either left back or LWB. He has shown his qualities in the Premier League over the years and has achieved great success at Anfield, winning every major competition possible.
Robertson to Liverpool
However, the 31-year-old showed signs of decline last season; As a result, the Reds decided to sign Milos Kerkez from AFC Bournemouth last summer. So Robertson is playing second fiddle this season.
Yet he is a top player and can certainly play at the highest level for a few more years. He is efficient in defensive contributions, can provide excellent crosses from wide areas and can score some important goals.
Therefore, he could be a smart signing for Tottenham if they buy him. However, it will be interesting to see if the North London club ultimately manages to secure his services before the February 2 transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, after a comfortable 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek, Tottenham will take on Burnley in the Premier League at Turf Moor this weekend.
