Tottenham lead Andy Robertson race: Spurs will only sign Liverpool legend on one condition
Tottenham Hotspur are set to push ahead with a deal for Andy Robertson, who will be available on a free this summer, having missed out on the Liverpool legend during the January window.
On Thursday evening, Andrew Robertson dropped a bombshell, outlining his plans for the future after months of speculation.
The Liverpool full-back, whose contract is set to expire this summer, has decided to part ways with the Reds, opting not to renew his deal.
That decision is set to bring an end to a near-decade-long stay at Anfield for the full-back, who has won everything there is to win in club football.
Tottenham lead race for Andy Robertson transfer
Robertson’s announcement will undoubtedly have caught the attention of Tottenham, who were keen on signing the full-back during the winter window.
However, Spurs’ efforts to sign Robertson in January were scuppered by Liverpool, as they were not keen to part with the 32-year-old, given their lack of depth at full-back.
As a result, the defender stayed put, but now David Ornstein has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur remain keen on signing Andrew Robertson.
It is explained that Tottenham are in fact in pole position to sign the full-back this summer, although a move is subject to Spurs retaining their Premier League status.
Ornstein wrote: ‘Tottenham Hotspur in pole position to sign Andy Robertson this summer, subject to retaining PL status. 32yo fully focused on LFC so nothing finalised & also interest from Europe but THFC lead contender to seal deal if relegation avoided.’
Spurs face competition for Andrew Robertson despite free transfer boost
Reports from the winter even revealed that Robertson was, at the time, keen on joining Tottenham, and that will no doubt help their case once more this summer.
Spurs were willing to pay a small fee for the Liverpool full-back in January, but if they land him in the upcoming transfer window, he will be joining on a free.
However, competition for Robertson remains very fierce, with Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Juventus also keen, alongside his boyhood club Celtic.
