Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for Andy Robertson, with PRemier League survival making a transfer more likely
Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a potential blow in their hopes for signing Andy Robertson this summer, with Juventus entering the race for the defender.
Sky in Italy claim that Juventus have made a move for Robertson, who played his final game for Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. His deal at Anfield expires at the end of next month, meaning that he will be available on a free transfer.
It's claimed that Spurs do remain in pole position to sign Robertson, who was linked with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in January. Juve are, however, said to have submitted 'an offer'.

After a disappointing season, Spurs will be hoping to have a successful transfer window to avoid the situation happening again. The side survived relegation to the Championship on the final day of the season, thanks to a 1-0 win over Everton.
Robertson will bring strong Premier League experience and know-how at the other end of the table. During his nine years with Liverpool, he was part of a squad that won two Premier League titles, one C hampions League, two League Cups and one FA Cup.
The full-back will be part of the Scotland squad for this summer's World Cup in North America, something which could potentially delay any decisions over his future. The tournament begins on 11 June, with Scotland playing their first game three days later against Haiti (2am kick-off).
They also face Morocco (19 June, 11pm) and Brazil (24 June, 11pm) in their other Group C fixtures.
Previously speaking about the potential January move to Spurs, Robertson said: "There was obviously interest there - there were discussions had with both sets of clubs.
"But the decision was that I wanted to stay. We stayed at Liverpool and that was the decision made."
Reflecting on his final game for Liverpool and the build-up to it, he told Sky Sports: "Emotionally drained. It's been a busy week trying to keep your emotions in check and saying bye to those you need to say bye to.
"Pep Guardiola pushed us to new limits. We should have won more Premier Leagues if it wasn't for that man. Seamus Coleman is leaving Everton and he's been a fantastic servant for that football club.
"In years to come, then we know we're both welcome back to this football club. This is a big chapter in our book but it's not the end. First and foremost, we have to switch off and focus on the World Cup. I know this is our family and we'll be welcome back."
