Liverpool looking for new left-back
Robertson’s consistency has slipped a little this season and for that reason Liverpool are in the market for a new performer in the position.
Milos Kerkez is widely seen as the No1 pick - with Hughes having signed the Hungarian once before when he was technical director at Bournemouth.
It has previously been speculated that Tsimikas would be sacrificed to make way for Kerkez - as Liverpool would have no use for three senior left-backs.

But now Robertson has hinted that he may be the one to leave. In an interview with BBC’s Match of the Day, the Scotland captain was in a reflective mood, offering a clue that he too could be set to leave.
“Obviously, the club are going to have a busy summer, so we need to see where everyone stands,” he disclosed on Sunday.
“But it’s been a special time here, I loved my time here, it’s been eight special years, and I’ve cherished every moment I’ve played in front of these fans, especially at Anfield.
“Today was special.”
