Tottenham have stepped up their surprise plans to sign Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson as new head coach Thomas Frank looks to address an early problem in his squad.
Frank has only just arrived in north London, but Tottenham are already dealing with a headache at full-back. Injuries and uncertainty on the left side have left the club short of options, and Robertson has emerged as a high-profile target as Spurs look to move quickly in the market.
The Liverpool defender remains one of the most experienced players in the Premier League, and Tottenham believe he could offer immediate reliability and leadership. Spurs are understood to be bringing forward their work on a potential deal, with Robertson now firmly on their shortlist.
It is a bold approach given Robertson’s status at Anfield, but Tottenham see the situation as an opportunity to strengthen a key position. The club want answers fast, with Frank keen to settle his back line ahead of the new season.
For Liverpool, Robertson has long been a core part of the team, and any move would be a major decision. Tottenham’s interest, however, is described as serious, and the club are pushing to see if an agreement is possible.
