Andy Robertson is ready to join Tottenham Hotspur in the coming days, and Spurs are now preparing to close the deal with Liverpool.
The 31-year-old may have made his final appearance for Liverpool after he came off the bench against Bournemouth on Saturday evening.
Who is Tottenham’s starting left-back when both are fully fit?
Udogie or Robertson…
Robertson appeared to wave farewell to Liverpool’s fans following the defeat at the Vitality Stadium after spending eight-and-a-half seasons at the club.
Now, the Scottish international looks set for a move to North London, with Spurs working hard to get the deal done this week.
Tottenham are now pushing to sign Andy Robertson
Tottenham Hotspur are now pushing to sign Liverpool defender Andy Robertson next week, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Earlier this week, Tottenham opened talks to sign Robertson, and on Friday submitted an official bid for the Premier League winner.
Despite playing 45 minutes for Liverpool over the weekend, that will have no bearing on the deal, which is fully expected to be closed in the coming days.

Romano told his YouTube channel: “Tottenham keep working this week and in the next few days to close the deal for Andy Robertson.
“They presented an official bid to Liverpool already on Friday. The bid is on the table. The bid is being negotiated between Liverpool and Tottenham.
“The player is open to making this switch. The player played in the second half, but that doesn’t mean anything as it’s up to the clubs to decide what they want to do.
“The player is open. The player is ready. Now, Tottenham and Liverpool are in contact to try to find a financial agreement for Andy Robertson.”
