Robertson lifts the lid on Spurs transfer saga

**Andy Robertson has revealed the details of his transfer saga with Tottenham.**

Robertson emerged as a shock target for the Premier League strugglers during the transfer window with Liverpool ready to listen to offers for their vice-captain.

But the Scotland international [remained at Anfield after injury to Joe Gomez](https://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/63171-andy-robertson-set-to-stay-at-liverpool/) forced Arne Slot’s side to reconsider the £6 million offer on the table from the Londoners.

Robertson has retained a semi-regular presence in the Reds’ line-up with his latest appearance seeing him involved in two goals of their 3-1 FA Cup win at Wolves.

And the veteran left-back has now lifted the lid on that proposed switch to the capital, confirming that he had the final say on the decision to stay on Merseyside.

“There was obviously interest there,” said Robertson.

“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.”

Robertson’s current contract is set to expire at the end of this season but maintained that any decision around his long-term future will not be played out in public.

He added: “I’ve always said that will stay between me and the club.

“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.”
