Andy Robertson in shock talks over move to Premier League rivals after nine years at Liverpool

Discussions are now taking place regarding a potential mid-season move for the experienced defender.

Robertson has found himself pushed down the selection order at Anfield following Milos Kerkez's arrival from Bournemouth, managing just four league starts this season.

Despite being Arne Slot's preferred option at left-back during Liverpool's title-winning campaign, the 31-year-old has seen his playing time significantly reduced since the Hungarian's transfer.

Robertson's trophy haul during his time at Liverpool marks him out as one of the most decorated full-backs in recent Premier League history.

Since departing Hull City in 2017 to join Arne Slot's side, the Scot has collected eight major honours, including a Champions League medal and two Premier League titles.

His attacking contributions have been equally remarkable, with the defender registering five or more league assists in six consecutive seasons between 2017 and 2023.

Across his spells at Hull and Liverpool, Robertson has accumulated 60 top-flight assists.

With more than 300 Premier League appearances to his name, the left-back has cemented his reputation as one of the division's finest offensive defenders.

Should Robertson complete a move to north London, he would become Tottenham's second significant acquisition of the January window.

Thomas Frank has already bolstered his squad with the permanent signing of Conor Gallagher from Atletico Madrid.

The Spurs manager finds himself under scrutiny following a prolonged spell of disappointing league results.

However, senior figures within the club continue to support Frank and are pressing ahead with additional recruitment activity this month.

Tottenham had initially earmarked Robertson as a potential summer target, but the club has now accelerated their timeline to bring the experienced defender in during the current transfer window.

Speaking earlier this month, Robertson addressed his uncertain future, stating: "I've got five months left and we need to see what the option is to stay or if there's options to go and things like that."

The defender acknowledged the need for careful consideration with those closest to him.

"I need to sit down with my family and decide," he said.

"After a stressful summer, I'm just trying to enjoy being a part of it and being a Liverpool player."

Robertson also reflected on his international achievements, adding: "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 going forward."

The Scotland skipper will lead his nation to America this summer following their successful qualification campaign under Steve Clarke.
