Liverpool have reportedly pulled the plug on Andy Robertson’s proposed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur after late negotiations collapsed.
In a surprising turn of events, the veteran defender’s move to North London appears to be off.
Tottenham had identified Robertson as a key addition to provide experience and depth on the left flank, but Liverpool officials are understood to have halted the deal at the final stage.
The breakdown in talks leaves Spurs searching for alternative defensive targets with only a few days remaining in the window.
Robertson has been a mainstay at Anfield for years, and while game time has been more limited recently, Arne Slot reportedly views him as a vital member of the squad given the current injury crisis.
Tottenham will be disappointed to miss out on their primary target as they look to stabilise a season that has been plagued by inconsistency.
The Scotsman is now expected to stay on Merseyside and assist in Liverpool’s push for Champions League qualification.
