Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly working on a surprise move for Liverpool's Andy Robertson, as the Scottish international approaches the end of his contract. Robertson, who is widely considered one of the best left-backs in Premier League history, has fewer than six months left on his deal and hasn't yet signed fresh terms.
Commenting on his future earlier this month, Robertson said: “We’ve had chats now which will remain private; we’ll see what happens. I’ve got five months left and we need to see the option to stay or if there’s options to go and things like that. I’ll sit down with my family and decide. After a stressful summer, I’m just trying to enjoy being a part of it, and being a Liverpool player. I wanted to qualify for the World Cup and thankfully we’ve managed to do that. I need to see what myself and my family wants.”
He continued: “I can focus on the last eight and a half years. I think Jürgen Klopp left me out of one game and I was raging. I’m a player who wants to play. I’ve played through injuries. I’ve played when I’ve only been 50, 40, 30 per cent fit for this club and my country. I always want to be on the grass and playing and obviously now that’s not happening, so that’s different.
“I have a different role here this season which I’m getting enjoyment out of but footballers want to play and, if anyone is sat happy on the bench, then they don’t belong at any football club. If you’re happy to be at Liverpool, wanting to sit on the bench, then I don’t think you have the right attitude. I’ve played well in the games I’ve played this season. Maybe I’ve not played as much as I would have liked, but it’s nothing I’ve been surprised by. Let’s see what happens.”
