Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
The London club opened talks to secure his signature this month, with the 31-year-old open to a move. The player has entered into a verbal agreement with the North London team.
Robertson needs playing time
Robertson has struggled for regular opportunities at Liverpool and he hopes to play more often in a World Cup year. In the meantime, Sky Sports’ Michael Bridge has explained why Tottenham are keen to sign the Scotland international this month.
Ben Davies is currently sidelined with a serious ankle injury and Tottenham need more depth in that part of the pitch. Moreover, they need to add more homegrown players to the squad. The Scotland international will bring experience, quality and winning experience to the team. He is also a homegrown player and could be the ideal mentor for players like Souza, who joined from Santos earlier this week.
Robertson’s arrival would also allow Djed Spence to operate in his natural role as a right-back.
Andy Robertson would help Spurs improve
The 31-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League and Champions League over the years, and there is no doubt that he is a top quality player. He could help them improve their defense, and his experience and leadership skills could prove invaluable. With Liverpool he won the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile, he is one of the leaders of Liverpool’s dressing room, and his departure will certainly be a blow to the club. However, they have not been able to provide him with regular opportunities and there is a good chance that they will lose the player soon.
