Liverpool want £5m for Tottenham target Andy Robertson

Liverpool and Tottenham are discussing a potential £5m deal for Andy Robertson, with preliminary talks under way and a decision expected in the coming days, according to Sky Sports.

The Scotland captain is out of contract in the summer and has already stated his desire to resolve his future.

“It’s safe to say that I’ve done absolutely everything for this club in the last eight-and-a-half years and the club have been very good to me,” he said.

“They have rewarded me with new contracts when I’ve been playing well. When you do play well, you’re rewarding yourself as well.

“I’ve got five months left and we need to see what the options are to stay, if there’s options to go and things like that.

“I need to sit down with my family first and foremost to see what we want. After a bit of a stressful summer, I’ve just tried to enjoy being a part of it, being a Liverpool player, trying to qualify for a World Cup. Thankfully I’ve managed to do that,.

“I need to speak to my family and see what we want going forward Then as soon as we make our mind up then we’ll let you know when the time is right.”

Liverpool are keen to show respect for Robertson’s long service and impact since joining from Hull City in 2017, during which he has been a key figure in their Premier League and Champions League triumphs.

Spurs are pushing for the move as they look to add experience to their squad.

Ben Davies has been ruled out for the season after suffering a serious ankle injury that requires surgery, and Robertson’s arrival would allow Djed Spence to return to his preferred right-back role.

Tottenham also need to boost their homegrown quota and are closing in on the Champions League knockout stages.

Andy Robertson has featured less regularly this season, starting just four Premier League games following the arrival of Milos Kerkez. He was wanted by Atletico Madrid last summer, but no move materialised.

If the deal goes through, Liverpool are expected to consider recalling Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma.

Tottenham recently signed 19-year-old left-back Souza from Santos, but he is viewed as a development player rather than an immediate first-team option.
