Tottenham are advancing in talks with Liverpool over a deal to sign defender Andy Robertson.

Reports emerged on Friday that Spurs had made an approach to Liverpool over a deal for Robertson.

Robertson is considered one of the finest left-backs in Premier League history, but he has struggled for starts at Anfield this season.

Liverpool appear open to letting Robertson join Tottenham before the winter transfer window closes on 2 February.

And the Scotland international’s whereabouts have now been revealed ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Bournemouth on Saturday evening.

Signing Robertson, even at the age of 31, would be a transfer coup of sorts for Tottenham.

Conor Gallagher has also arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this month, meaning the squad is certainly stronger than it was at the turn of the year.

There is still work to be done for Robertson to join, however, and the full-back is with the Liverpool squad for their clash at the Vitality Stadium.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who also report that an outcome is expected to be reached between Spurs and Liverpool “in the next few days”.

Thomas Frank will hope to have Robertson as part of his squad by the time next weekend’s clash with Manchester City comes around.

Before that, Tottenham take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon and then head to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday.

How much will Tottenham pay Liverpool for Robertson?

Robertson has made 321 appearances in the Premier League for Hull City and Liverpool – the vast majority coming with the latter over the past nine years.

The defender is due to be out of contract in the summer, meaning he will be available for free in just five months’ time.

However, Spurs want to strike a deal now to have Robertson in their squad for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

And it is claimed in the same report that Spurs will pay around £5million to land Robertson early, which should still be considered good value for money from Spurs’ perspective.
