Andy Robertson has adressed his January transfer links to Tottenham, insisting his commitment to Liverpool never wavered despite the discussions.
The 31-year-old was anticipated to join the north London club a deal worth around £5 million before the end of the January window, but Liverpool pulled the plug.
With defensive injuries mounting, Robertson’s services were still needed and he remained at Anfield, since playing four times in place of Milos Kerkez.
And after helping to lead Liverpool to an FA Cup win over Wolves, Robertson spoke to the press, including ESPN, addressing his talks with Spurs and his commitment to the club.
“There was obviously interest there,” Robertson explained. “There were discussions had with both sets of clubs. But the decision was that I wanted to stay.

“We stayed at Liverpool and that was the decision made.
“I was never not committed. I’ve been committed to Liverpool for the last eight and a half or nine years now and I’ll be committed until I’m no longer needed.
“That’s always been my mindset. This club has given me everything and I’ve given this club everything.
“It’s been a fantastic relationship so hopefully that continues and obviously January happened, but it is now gone.
“Now we move forward and like I said, my focus never came off trying to help the lads on the pitch and in training.
“Whatever was happening behind the scenes happened, and all I can say is that I kept focusing on football.”

With Robertson out of contract at the end of the season and no extension yet to be forthcoming, the Scot insisted his future would not play out in public forums.
“I’ve always said that will stay between me and the club,” Robertson said of his future. “I don’t think it will get played out in public. It is not one of them.
“I have got an amazing relationship with Richard (Hughes) and with Mike Gordon and Michael Edwards.
“I’ve had a good relationship with these people and these people brought me to the football club. They have helped make me who I am, so in that respect, we’ve had a fantastic relationship.

“I think out of respect to them, and they have respected me, then the conversations will be in-house.
“When a decision is made, and we’re getting to the point where I only have three months left on my contract, it will be announced to you guys.”
