This is "Panic Bye". Tottenham Hotspur, who lost Ben Davies (32), to injury, are seeking to recruit Andy Robertson (31), who has been reduced to a bench member for Liverpool in the winter transfer market.
"Tottenham has begun negotiations to recruit Liverpool left-back Robertson," the British leading newspaper "BBC" reported on the 24th (Korea time), adding, "Tottenham coach Thomas Frank is trying to add depth to the defense through experienced Robertson."
Earlier, European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also said on his personal social network service (SNS), "Tottenham sent an official proposal. Negotiations between the two clubs regarding Robertson's transfer have progressed, he said.
Robertson's contract with Liverpool expires this summer. Putting together local reports, Robertson wants steady playing time for his upcoming World Cup appearance.
However, his position in Liverpool has completely narrowed. According to the statistics media 'Transfermarkt', Robertson played 13 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season, but started four times and played only 496 minutes. Including the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and the Cup, it is only 1,103 minutes in a total of 21 games.
The recruitment is somewhat difficult to understand. Tottenham's left defensive line is already saturated. Tottenham urgently hired Brazilian left-back Souza for 13 million pounds (about 25.7 billion won) after veteran Davis was ruled out for the season after suffering a fractured ankle last Sunday.
In addition, Destiny Udogi, who is already a main player, has returned from injury. Zed Spence also joined Souza in a situation where he could play. Coach Frank's position in the Tottenham squad is the defense. However, he intends to bring Robertson, who is in his mid-30s, to this point.
This season, Robertson completely lost his starting position to transfer player Milos Kerkez last summer. The most recent participation was the replacement of Burnley on the 17th.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said, "Robertson is still an important player," but the club has already predicted Robertson's replacement. "Liverpool plans to bring in Kostas Tsimikas, who has a lease in AS Roma, to fill the spot if Robertson leaves the team," the BBC explained.
In response, 'BBC' said, "Tottenham's midfield has weakened. Considering the chronic problem, it is somewhat surprising to recruit Robertson, he said. "However, what the Tottenham squad lacks is experience. There is only one player over the age of 30 who is João Pali. Four of the seven veterans were injured. Therefore, Robertson will show Tottenham's much-needed leadership," he analyzed.
In fact, Robertson's trip to Tottenham is a definite atmosphere. Another sports media outlet, ESPN, also detailed his interview, saying, "Robertson admitted earlier this month that his long-term future was uncertain." Robertson said, "I'm a player who wants to play. "We have five months left on our contract, so we will see if we have to stay or if we can leave," he said.
He then said, "I have to sit down with my family and decide. I had a very stressful summer. Now, I'm just trying to enjoy it as a member of Liverpool," he said, adding, "My goal to advance to the World Cup finals has been achieved. Now I have to check what I and my family want in the future," he said, expressing his strong will to play in the game.
