Andrew Robertson is set to remain a Liverpool player for the rest of the season after the Anfield hierarchy informed Tottenham that a deal is off the table. Spurs had prepared a £5 million package for the Scot, but an injury crisis on Merseyside has forced Liverpool to block the move, granting the wish of captain Virgil van Dijk who urged the club to keep his defensive partner.

Virgil van Dijk is eager to see “my vice-captain” Andy Robertson remain at Liverpool. Mounting speculation during the January transfer window suggests that the Scotland international left-back has emerged as a shock target for Tottenham. Van Dijk is hoping that a fellow two-time Premier League title winner will not be allowed to leave Anfield.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has suggested it would be unwise to sanction the sale of Andy Robertson before the transfer deadline as he still 'needs' the left-back. Robertson is in talks with Tottenham over a move but the Reds are facing a mounting injury crisis and Slot is determined not to lose any further players.

Liverpool will reportedly recall on-loan Roma defender Kostas Tsimikas if Andy Robertson joins Tottenham this month. The Scotland international is out of contract at Anfield this summer and has struggled for game time following Milos Kerkez's arrival. As Spurs begin talks with the 31-year-old, the Reds may bring back their Greek full-back as cover.

Tottenham have launched a shock move to sign Andy Robertson immediately, abandoning plans to wait for his contract to expire in June. Head coach Thomas Frank is facing a defensive crisis in north London and has pushed to secure the Liverpool veteran now, with amicable negotiations advancing quickly as the Scotland captain seeks regular football ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
