Tottenham will enjoy the latest Andy Robertson transfer update, but Celtic may not be thrilled
Journalist Pete O’Rourke has provided the latest on the race for Andy Robertson’s signature as Tottenham finally look to get the left-back through the door.
Robertson appeared all set for a move to Tottenham during the winter transfer window, but the deal fell through in the end, with Liverpool blocking the 31-year-old’s switch to Spurs.
The Lilywhites are expected to reignite their interest in Robertson, whose current deal at Anfield runs out in the summer.
However, a summer deal for the left-back may not be straightforward, with several Premier League clubs thought to be eyeing a move for the Liverpool star.
Celtic will struggle to beat Tottenham to Andy Robertson
It has emerged over recent weeks that Robertson’s representatives have held talks over a move to Celtic Park in the summer.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now revealed that the 32-year-old is a boyhood Celtic fan, but suggested that the defender would prefer to remain in the Premier League if Tottenham came calling again.
O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Robertson is a boyhood Celtic fan, it’s a move that would tug on the heartstrings. But I don’t think there’s any more to it than that right now.
“It does seem that Robertson and Liverpool are willing to make a decision at the end of the season, and they won’t rush into anything. It’ll be Robertson’s decision what he wants to do. At this stage of his career, he still probably want to play at the highest level possible.
“I’m sure there’ll be rival Premier League interest in Robeson’s signature if he does become a free agent and I think there’ll be interest from abroad as well.
“He’s had interest from Tottenham of course and Atletico Madrid as well last summer. So I think it’ll be a difficult deal to do for Celtic at this stage, I’m not sure it’s something he will be entirely keen on if other clubs come calling.”
Spurs may not be able to sign Robertson on a free this summer
While the former Hull man’s contract at Liverpool does run out in a few months, there is no guarantee that he would be available on a free.
Some sources have suggested that Liverpool are considering offering the Spurs target a new contract.
It has been claimed that if a short-term extension is signed, Tottenham may have to pay a modest £5m to land Robertson in the summer.
