Tottenham have entered talks with Liverpool over a potential transfer deal for Scotland international left-back Andy Robertson. The 31-year-old, who is out of contract at Anfield in the summer, has expressed his desire to be involved regularly before the World Cup, which is just around the corner.
Robertson has been starting just four times in the Premier League this season and has been linked with a move away from Liverpool as Spurs look to bolster their squad. The club have completed the signing of Brazilian left-back Souza on Thursday, but it appears they are also interested in Robertson's services.
Liverpool signed Robertson from Hull City for ยฃ8m in 2017 during Jurgen Klopp's reign and he has made 363 appearances for the Reds. However, his recent form has been limited to just four starts in the Premier League this season, with summer signing Milos Kerkez winning a spot in the starting line-up.
The move would mark an unexpected departure for Robertson, who is Scotland's captain, but also brings an opportunity for Tottenham to strengthen their squad and bolster their midfield. The North London club are currently struggling with injuries, particularly at centre-back, where they have eight players out of action.
Tottenham have depth in their squad, particularly among the younger players such as Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence, but it appears that Spurs manager Thomas Frank is seeking an experienced player to help stabilize the team. Robertson's experience and leadership would be a valuable asset to the club, given their depleted midfield.
A deal could potentially see Liverpool recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma, as the Greek left-back has been out of form this season. The transfer could also be a significant development in Spurs' push for Champions League qualification next season.

anyway i think it would be a good move for robertson he needs some game time before the world cup and tottenham need some stability in their midfield, plus 8 players out injured at centre back is crazy 
The fact that he's only starting 4 times in the Premier League this season is a bit of a worry, but I think the transfer would be a big win for Tottenham if they can get him. They've got some talented young players like Udogie and Spence who could learn a lot from Robertson's experience. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out, especially with Spurs needing to strengthen their midfield. Maybe it's time for Liverpool to rebuild and bring in some fresh faces? 
It sounds like a classic case of "we don't want you anymore"... except this time it's more about Spurs trying to strengthen their squad, right? 
The fact that Tottenham are willing to step up and pay for Robertson is telling - they clearly see the value he brings to the table. But what does this say about Liverpool's strategy? Are they just not seeing his potential or are they really trying to get rid of him? 
! As a parent, I know how hard it is for kids (and adults 
) to feel like they're not getting enough playing time, and Andy's desire to be involved regularly before the World Cup is totally understandable. 
. Robertson would bring a level of stability and leadership to that position, which would be amazing for the team! 
! They've been struggling in midfield, so getting Kostas Tsimikas back from his loan spell at Roma could make all the difference. It's gonna be an interesting transfer saga to keep an eye on 
i dont get why he would wanna leave anfield tho didnt they just build a new stadium and all that...i guess its all about getting more game time and being part of the world cup squad 
i wonder if spurs will make it to champs league next season lol their midfield is so thin atm 
but robertson would def bring some stability and leadership 
maybe this move wont be as bad for liverpool as ppl think? 
I dont think its a good idea to sell Andy Robertson to Spurs. He's Scotland's captain and has been with Liverpool since 2017, it would be weird for him to go to the team that's trying to chase them for Europe
i know some ppl might say he's lost his touch but let me tell u, the guy is still one of the best left backs in europe and we need him in our squad ASAP!!! 
plus he's scotland's captain, lol what a legend! 
I think this move is just a huge overpay...
anyway, tottenham can't be that bad right? 
. plus tottenham could use a good left back to help them out in the midfield 
. Like, what were they thinking? 
They're like -12 in goal difference... what's going on there? 
I get it, Robertson wants to play regularly before the World Cup, but can't he see that his form has been all over the place lately? 
... 
... all I know is that Andy Robertson deserves better than this 
. But 31 and wanting to play regularly before the World Cup? It's a big ask. And at Spurs, of all teams? They've just signed Souza, but he's also looking for regular minutes
