<\/p>\nAndrew Robertson looks set to stay at Liverpool after the Anfield club told Tottenham Hotspur they could not consider his departure as things stand.<\/p>\n
Despite talks between the two Premier League sides last week, Liverpool have now pulled the plug on a deal for the Scotland captain. <\/p>\n
Tottenham were prepared to pay a package of about \u00a35million for Robertson, who is out of contract in the summer, with Thomas Frank, their under-pressure head coach, seeking more leadership and experience for his squad.<\/p>\n

Liverpool had been mindful of Robertson\u2019s outstanding service over the past 8\u00bd years since he signed from Hull City for a bargain \u00a38.5million in the summer of 2017 and also that his future is uncertain at the club beyond the end of the season.<\/p>\n
However, having considered the offer, and their alternative options in the position, Liverpool have decided against proceeding with an agreement.<\/p>\n
Robertson, who turns 32 in March, came on as a half-time substitute for first-choice left back Milos Kerkez in Saturday\u2019s 3-2 defeat away to Bournemouth, which resulted in Liverpool falling out of the top four in the Premier League after Sunday\u2019s results.<\/p>\n
He did not agitate for a move to London and will continue to have a role to play for the remainder of the season as Liverpool attempt to orchestrate an overdue improvement in their league results. They remain in the Champions League and also the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot, the head coach, had said after the late loss against Bournemouth that consigned the champions to their seventh defeat of the season, that he wanted to keep all his players. Virgil van Dijk, the club captain, had also emphasised Robertson\u2019s importance, adding that he \u201cwanted him to stay\u201d.<\/p>\n
Liverpool had looked into recalling Kostas Tsimikas from a loan spell at Roma, but it is understood the Italian side were reluctant to allow it. Slot knows his defensive resources are somewhat depleted with Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni ruled out for the season due to serious knee injuries.<\/p>\n
Joe Gomez was substituted in the first half on Saturday after suffering a blow to the face from team-mate Alisson as they attempted to stop Bournemouth\u2019s opening goal. Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 has missed the past two games after the death of his father. <\/p>\n
Injury to Tottenham\u2019s Ben Davies means Destiny Udogie is Frank\u2019s only fit, specialised senior left back. <\/p>\n
Frank would like Djed Spence \u2014 who has regularly filled in at left back \u2014 to push Pedro Porro at right back, while Souza, the 19-year-old left back Spurs signed from the Brazilian side Santos on Thursday, is inexperienced at the top level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Robertson looks set to stay at Liverpool after the Anfield club told Tottenham Hotspur they could not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":390392,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-390391","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=390391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/390391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/390392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=390391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=390391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
