iverpool boss Arne Slot has opened up and revealed that he wants to keep Andy Robertson at the club, despite the many reports in the media which have claimed that a move to Tottenham could happen.
Since joining from Hull City for a bargain £8m in 2017, the Scot has been virtually undroppable, amassing 362 appearances for the Reds. However, the current campaign has painted a different picture.
The *LIVERPOOL*‘ vice-captain has rotated at left-back for the majority of the season with £40m summer signing Milos Kerkez and the Scotland captain faces the toughest competition he’s had for a place in the side since he broke into the team.
Robertson has recently publicly opened the door to a potential exit this summer, acknowledging that his lack of game time is a major factor as he approaches the end of his contract in the summer, and that opened the door for Tottenham to make a move this January.
Robertson played 45 minutes for Liverpool against Bournemouth on Saturday after he came on at half-time for Milos Kerkez as Liverpool lost 3-2 to Bournemouth, and when asked about Robertson’s future, LIVERPOOL manager Arne Slot said: “I need all my players. I always knew that another 90 minutes for Milos Kerkez against an intense Bournemouth side was not a possibility so I already knew I had to bring Robertson in.
“But I had already made one substitution, so you only have two windows left so I brought him on at half time to make sure Kerkez stays available for the rest of the season. I have to manage that. The last thing we need is another injury.”
Virgil van Dijk added: “I speak to him everyday, he’s my vice captain. Robbo is a very important member of our team and I want him to stay. Whatever happens. We’ll see.”
IcFootballnews Says…
There are alot of people out there that agree with Robertson, there is alot to think about before deciding what he wants to do, but he wants to play that is for sure.
A move away this January for Robertson is the not the best decision, he should stay until the summer that is for sure.
