Robertson confirms Tottenham idea despite late Juventus attempt

As expected Andy Robertson will keep with his original plan to join Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham Hotspur, despite a late attempt from Juventus to hijack the deal.

The 32-year-old will be a free agent when his contract with Liverpool comes to and end on June 30 and saluted the fans at Anfield in an emotional final appearance.

He had been at the club since leaving Hull City in 2017 and knew that he would need to think carefully about the next step in his career.

Juventus had made an approach last week, but even those reports noted that it was an unlikely attempt, seeing as Robertson had agreed terms with Spurs six months ago.

Now transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano confirms that this was only a long shot, because the Scotland international has decided to stick with the original idea of coming to Tottenham.

This was made even more likely with the arrival of coach De Zerbi and their ability to avoid relegation from the Premier League on the last day of the season.

The midfielder made 36 competitive appearances for Liverpool this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
