Andy Robertson could still join Tottenham
Andy Robertson’s move to Tottenham Hotspur is not off the cards just yet, with Liverpool waiting for AS Roma to find a replacement for Kostas Tsimikas, according to David Ornstein.
Liverpool are hoping to bring Tsimikas back to Anfield, which would then allow them to release the Scottish international.
Robertson appeared to wave farewell to Liverpool fans following their defeat to Bournemouth, but now things have changed.
