Tottenham Hotspur in advanced talks to sign Andy Robertson

Tottenham Hotspur have accelerated their pursuit of the Scottish international following a serious ankle injury to Ben Davies that has left the squad light on the left flank.

Originally identified as a summer target, the Liverpool full-back’s move could be brought forward to providing much-needed experience to a struggling Spurs side.

Reports on Friday suggest that talks are advancing quickly between the clubs and the player’s representatives for a potential January transfer.

For Thomas Frank, the addition of Robertson would be a significant boost amidst growing pressure following a run of poor results.

The manager is desperate for defensive reinforcements to stabilise a backline that has conceded soft goals in recent weeks.

Robertson, whose contract at Anfield ends this summer, is understood to be open to the move for a fresh challenge.
