Liverpool have no cover for Robertson and Milos Kerkez

Left-back, whose deal ends in June, has not asked to go

Liverpool have pulled out of talks with Tottenham over their approach for Andy Robertson. Spurs made their move late last week as Thomas Frank sought to add much-needed experience to his squad.

Liverpool listened to the approach in recognition of Robertson’s contribution to the club in the last eight and a half years and the fact he is out of contract in the summer.

However, the club have decided against continuing negotiations over the Scotland captain, who turns 32 in March, after considering their options. Robertson had not asked for a move and Liverpool have no cover for him and Milos Kerkez at left-back.
