Andy Robertson in Tottenham transfer twist as contact made with new head coach
Andy Robertson’s surprise move to Tottenham could be impacted by a potential managerial change.
Robertson has been linked with Spurs as the Scotland international emerged as a shock target earlier in the week at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
A move from Liverpool to Tottenham seems to be edging closer for Robertson, even with the uncertainty behind Thomas Frank in North London.
The Danish head coach is under increasing scrutiny after Tottenham could only draw with Burnley on Saturday, with the sack looking ever more likely.
Things aren’t exactly rosy for Arne Slot at Anfield either, with initial talks beginning ahead of a possible dugout change.
Tottenham interested in signing Andy Robertson
Robertson would bring experience to Tottenham, although that isn’t something that they have missed this season with many seasoned pros on Hotspur Way.
What the Scot would bring is a winning mentality, having played a part in two Premier League title wins and a Champions League lift.
Left-back is an interesting position for Frank and Co. to target, but if a deal is available, there are worse options out there on the market.
It appears that a deal may be edging closer, with Robertson seemingly waving goodbye to the Liverpool fans after their defeat against Bournemouth.
The defender was reportedly the last player with the travelling faithful as he thanked supporters on what could be his final outing in red.
There is every chance that his goodbye has come too soon, especially after contact was made with a new manager at Anfield.
Liverpool make initial contact with Xabi Alonso
Frank may be edging closer to the sack in N17, but ironically, it is the Premier League champions who are seeking out potential replacements for Slot.
The Dutchman has come under pressure after such a disappointing campaign this time around, despite his huge levels of success the first time around.
Fichajes reported on Sunday that the Anfield hierarchy is willing to back the Dutchman until the end of the season, but is still considering alternatives.
Xabi Alonso has emerged as an initial target and have reached out to his circle to test the waters and see if he would be interested in a future move after he was sacked by Real Madrid.
The response from the Spaniard’s camp is said to be positive, with a move potentially possible in the coming weeks or months, depending on what happens with Slot.
That could prompt Liverpool to keep hold of their better players in January and allow their former midfielder to come in and have his own say on transfer dealings.
Robertson may fall into this bracket and see his Tottenham switch delayed until the Reds make a final decision on their head coach role.
