A new report has shed light on how Andy Robertson feels after Liverpool changed their mind about his move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Robertson sent a hint on Saturday against Bournemouth, which some interpreted as a sign that he expects to be off to Spurs.

However, Liverpool have put a stop to the left-back’s move to Tottenham after being unable to recall Kostas Tsimikas on loan from AS Roma.

It has now been revealed how the 31-year-old feels about the fact that the Reds have done a complete 180 on the transfer.

Andy Robertson is happy with Liverpool stay despite Tottenham agreement

According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool had expressed a willingness to cash in on the left-back last week since his contract runs out in the summer.

Tottenham had agreed a deal worth an initial £3m, which could have risen to £5m if all add-ons were met. However, the Reds have now informed the Lilywhites that they have no wish to go through with the sale.

Spurs had even agreed on personal terms with Robertson himself ahead of a potential move.

Robertson had made it clear to the Merseyside club that he was interested in leaving to get regular football under his belt ahead of the World Cup.

However, the Scotland international is not disappointed by the blocked transfer as he is accepting of the decision and is willing to give his all to the cause in his final few months at Liverpool. After all, the Scotland star will have a chance to move on a free in the summer anyway.

Robertson to Spurs can still go through over the coming days

It has been widely reported that Tottenham have not given up all hope of completing a late deal for Robertson.

Spurs’ deal for the experienced full-back depends on AS Roma, who are attempting to add a left-back to their squad.

If the Serie A side manage to bring a left-back through the door, Tsimikas will return to Liverpool, who will then greenlight Robertson’s move to N17.

Tottenham Hotspur have turned their attention to another Premier League left-back after missing out on Liverpool’s Andy Robertson.

This January has been the busiest of transfer windows for Tottenham Hotspur, but they have completed two signings, including Brazilian left-back Souza.

Despite securing the promising 19-year-old, Spurs were also interested in Andy Robertson, but Liverpool have prevented the Scotland international from departing for North London.

However, Tottenham still want to sign another left-sided defender, with Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies both remaining out with injuries.

Tottenham are considering Hugo Bueno bid

According to Team Talk, Tottenham could look to get over the disappointment of missing out on Robertson by launching a bid for Wolves defender Hugo Bueno.

The Spaniard could leave his current club in the summer, as he is determined to continue competing at the highest level. In fact, Bueno is attracting significant interest, with several clubs keen to swipe him from the Premier League relegation scrappers.

Everton have been identified as one of the teams interested in the 23-year-old, who rejected a loan move to Rangers last summer.

Spurs could still sign Andy Robertson

While Spurs continue to consider their left-back options, there are rumours that Robertson’s move to Tottenham could still take place. This is possible so long as Roma secure a replacement for Konstantinos Tsimikas, who is currently on loan there from Liverpool.

If Tottenham do manage to bring Robertson to Hotspur Way before the conclusion of the transfer window, any interest in Bueno is likely to fade away, at least for now.

Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has revealed that Luka Vuskovic has already decided what he wants to do next season.

The 18-year-old centre-back has surpassed all expectations during his loan spell at Hamburg and is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best young defenders in world football.

According to reports, Spurs are delighted at the way Vuskovic has progressed at Hamburg this season, with the defender showing maturity beyond his years.

Tottenham Hotspur fans are excited about having the teenager back next season, but it has emerged that they would have to wait longer to see him in action in a Lilywhite shirt.

Luka Vuskovic does not want to return to Tottenham next summer

Vuskovic has opened the door to extending his loan spell at Hamburg beyond this season, and it has now been revealed by Paul O’Keefe that the teenager has already made up his mind on what to do next season.

O’Keefe revealed that the centre-back wants to play alongside his older brother, Mario, who is currently serving a doping ban, at HSV and has thus decided to extend his loan spell in Volksparkstadion.

Responding to Spurs fans’ query on social media, O’Keefe stated on X: “Luka is staying in Germany,” and when pressed on why that is, the Tottenham insider responded: “He’s staying there. He himself says not ready and wants to play with his brother.”

However, reports indicate that Van de Ven is the subject of interest from some of the biggest clubs across Europe.

Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League league phase table, but Eintracht Frankfurt stands in their way. Here’s how to watch the clash between Tottenham and Frankfurt on Wednesday night.

Thomas Frank remains under pressure and will be hoping his side can repeat last week’s result, when they beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League, to ease some of the heat.

However, that relief was short-lived, with Frank once again under intense scrutiny following a 2-2 draw with Burnley last weekend.

While domestic results continue to falter, Spurs have been impressive in Europe and are now one win away from finishing in the top eight of the league-phase table, although Eintracht Frankfurt stand in their way.

Spurs and Frankfurt team news

Coming into Wednesday’s clash, Thomas Frank is again facing the prospect of being without as many as 12 first-team players, a scenario he also dealt with ahead of the Borussia Dortmund meeting, which ended in a 2-0 victory.

James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall and Richarlison are all currently sidelined for Tottenham.

Pape Matar Sarr could return to the squad following his illness, while Palhinha could still feature, with his issue understood to be less severe than those affecting several Spurs players expected to spend weeks on the treatment table.

Meanwhile, several other players are unavailable for selection because they were not registered in Tottenham’s initial Champions League squad.

Mathys Tel was recently removed from the Champions League squad to make way for Dominic Solanke, while Radu Dragusin, Conor Gallagher and Yves Bissouma were not included in the original group.

Eintracht Frankfurt are also dealing with several absentees, including Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga, Elias Baum, Jonathan Burkardt, Michy Batshuayi, Younes Ebnoutalib and Timothy Chandler.

Frankfurt’s Champions League fate is a major boost for Spurs

Tottenham come into this game sitting in fifth place, which is an impressive achievement for Frank’s side, who are giving a good account of themselves in their debut Champions League campaign under the new format.

Spurs now have the opportunity to wrap up their league-phase campaign by securing a top-eight finish, which would send them straight into the round of 16.

Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, have little to play for as they sit in 33rd place and have their Champions League fate all but sealed, something that should work in Tottenham’s favour.

The clock is ticking on the January transfer window and Tottenham had better get a move on if they want to complete any of the deals we’ve seen mentioned in the last 24 hours.

As things stand, Spurs are still stuck on two signings this month. Conor Gallagher and Souza are the only new players through the door.

We thought Andy Robertson would join the list of confirmed January deals for Spurs, but there have been some complications there — more on that shortly.

Still, it doesn’t sound like Tottenham have all their eggs in one basket, with a whole host of new names linked with a move to North London. Here’s what’s going on with the latest Tottenham transfer news.

Tottenham transfer round-up: Is Andy Robertson signing?

Just days ago, it sounded as though Tottenham were close to striking a deal for Andy Robertson, with reports claiming the player was happy to sign.

However, Liverpool pulled the plug on the Robertson deal on Sunday. It’s thought the Reds are not willing to part with the Scotsman given the impact it would have on their squad depth.

There is still a bit of hope, though. A complex chain of events could see Robertson join Spurs. It would mean Roma having to sign a new left-back to replace Kostas Tsimikas, with the Greek star heading back to Liverpool if his loan is cut short. It’s a long shot, but it could happen.

Spurs chase multiple midfielders

We know Spurs are keen to sign another midfielder this month. In fact, they may be about to break the bank in that regard. Reports from Spain suggest Tottenham have offered £85m for Aurelien Tchouameni.

It’s unclear whether Real Madrid would accept that offer or whether the player would agree to a move. Liverpool are also keen.

Speaking of Liverpool, it’s not looking good for Tottenham’s pursuit of Curtis Jones. Like Robertson, it’s not thought the Anfield outfit would be eager to part ways with one of their own.

Guglielmo Vicario could leave

Meanwhile, in the goalkeeper department, there’s a belief that Guglielmo Vicario could be on his way out of Spurs. Vicario is wanted by Inter Milan and is known to be on board with that idea. Spurs are now looking for a world-class replacement.

The likes of Bart Verbruggen, James Trafford and Marc Andre Ter Stegen have all been considered by the Lilywhites as they search for a new number one.

Interestingly, Inter Milan could be key to this development. They were linked with Emi Martinez but that’s been rebuffed, with Vicario their only target now.

Tottenham transfer round-up: Two strikers targeted, Radu Dragusin replacement, another Brentford link

We conclude our Tottenham transfer round-up with a brief update on other targets and one player who could be leaving the club.

First of all, new striker targets have emerged. Mohamed Kader Meite is wanted by Spurs and Man United, and the Rennes forward could cost £35m.

Meanwhile, Jorgen Strand Larsen may not be on Tottenham’s list anymore. A new report suggested he will stay in the Premier League but cited Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace as possible suitors.

At the same time, reports in Turkey claim Fenerbache could win the race for Omar Marmoush. That would be a blow to Spurs, who had been looking at signing the Man City ace.

Tottenham Hotspur could still complete a late deal for a Premier League title-winning midfielder who John Heitinga is a fan of.

Over the last 24 hours, Spurs have been hit with a blow in their pursuit of Andy Robertson, with Liverpool reportedly blocking the left-back’s switch to N17.

This development has angered some Tottenham fans, who are calling for a protest after being less than impressed with the club’s transfer business this month.

However, Robertson is not the only Liverpool player that the Lilywhites reportedly have their eye on.

Tottenham eyeing late deal for Curtis Jones

Over the last couple of weeks, it has been widely reported that Spurs are watching Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, who has fallen down Arne Slot’s pecking order at Anfield this season.

A new report on DaveOCKOP.com has now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to eye a late deal for the 24-year-old midfielder.

The outlet claims that new Tottenham first-team assistant coach, John Heitinga, who was part of Slot’s coaching staff at Liverpool last season, is a big fan of Jones as well as Robertson, and wants both players to be brought to N17.

It is revealed that the Lilywhites would be willing to initially offer £30m for the England international, but the Reds are likely to demand a bigger fee.

Signing Jones may mean Spurs miss out on their dream target

DaveOCKOP.com say that Jones ‘ departure may open the door for Liverpool to push ahead with a move for Adam Wharton.

It is suggested that talks for the Crystal Palace star could start around £65m, and the fee from Jones’ sale to go towards funding a deal for the Eagles midfielder.

Tottenham return to Champions League action for the final time in the league phase, with Thomas Frank aiming to secure a top-eight finish in his debut season in Europe’s top flight. We have now attempted to predict how the Dane could line up against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Tottenham Hotspur are once again back in Champions League action, but this time it will be for the final fixture of the league phase, with Eintracht Frankfurt standing in their way.

A victory against the German side will do Thomas Frank’s team a lot of good, as it would seal their place in the round of 16 and help them avoid the additional play-off games.

A win would also ease some of the pressure on the Dane, who found himself back under scrutiny after failing to build on the Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund, drawing with Burnley in the Premier League.

Tottenham predicted XI vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Tottenham come into this clash significantly stretched, with 12 players sidelined, and we have now attempted to predict how Frank will line up on Wednesday.

Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario: No rotation is expected here, as Tottenham need to secure a win, so Frank is set to stick with his number one.

Right-back – Pedro Porro: Frank revealed that Porro had a minor issue, which led to his early withdrawal against Burnley, but he should be fit for Wednesday and is expected to start.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Centre-back – Cristian Romero: The Tottenham captain was once again on the scoresheet, with his goal against Burnley earning a point. He was another injury concern after kicking the advertising board in celebration, but he should be available on Wednesday.

Centre-back – Micky van de Ven: The Dutchman should return to the Tottenham squad in the Champions League after missing the previous game in the competition due to yellow cards.

Left-back – Destiny Udogie: The full-back should return to the XI after being rested against Burnley, following his last outing in the game against Dortmund.

Pivot midfielder – Archie Gray: Spurs remain light in midfield, which should see Gray start once again in that deep midfield role.

Pivot midfielder – Pape Matar Sarr: Lucas Bergvall is injured and unavailable, while Rodrigo Bentancur is also out. Conor Gallagher is not registered for Spurs in the Champions League, and Joao Palhinha is a doubt, which should see Sarr return to the starting XI for the first time since returning from AFCON.

Attacking midfielder – Xavi Simons: With limited options available to Frank, Simons should retain his place as the attacking midfielder.

Right winger – Wilson Odobert: The young French international impressed against Dortmund and showed good intent against Burnley with his direct play and willingness to make things happen, which should earn him another start.

Striker – Dominic Solanke: The striker needs more minutes to regain match sharpness, having scored his first Champions League goal against Dortmund last time out in the competition, and he should start again here.

We have now taken a look at where Tottenham stands in the Premier League net spend table in the last five seasons.

It is the transfer season at the moment, and Tottenham Hotspur’s winter window has been rather quiet, with just one player coming through and ten days left until the window slams shut.

Conor Gallagher joined Tottenham earlier in January for £35m from Atletico Madrid and has since made his debut.

Spurs remain short-staffed in certain areas of the pitch, and the hope is that, before the window slams shut, more players will join the Lilywhites’ ranks.

Souza has been linked with Tottenham but has yet to join officially, despite reports of Spurs having paid £15m to Santos, with both sides reaching an agreement.

Tottenham and Premier League five-year net spend table

Spurs are not the only ones to have been busy this winter, with other Premier League clubs just as active.

Pep Guardiola’s side have been the most active, with Manchester City completing the signings of Semenyo and Guehi for around £80m in total.

MORE SPURS STORIES

We have now analysed the net spend of all Premier League sides over the last five years to see where Spurs land, and interestingly, Tottenham are high up the list.

What the figures say about Spurs recruitment

It is rather surprising to see Spurs so high up the list, as sides with a high net spend are those who have spent more on purchasing players than on selling.

That has been the case for Tottenham, who have spent the last five years trying to bolster their squad, but the issue is that many of Spurs’ big-money moves have not exactly set the world alight.

As a result, when these failed signings are later moved on, they do not command enough value compared to their original fees, which leads to a loss.

For their final Champions League group-stage fixture, Tottenham Hotspur face Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, knowing that anything less than a win will further reduce Thomas Frank’s chances of staying on as Spurs boss.

The pressure around Thomas Frank briefly eased after Tottenham’s impressive 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund last week, but it has ramped straight back up following the failure to collect all three points against 19th-placed Burnley.

His sacking looked guaranteed had Cristian Romero not popped up with a last-minute equaliser to make it 2-2, a goal that effectively bought Frank another week in the job. That draw also summed up Tottenham’s domestic struggles, with Spurs having won just two league games in the past three months and sitting 14th in the Premier League.

Europe, somehow, tells a very different story. Tottenham go into the final round sitting fifth in the Champions League table, behind only Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Liverpool. Victory in Frankfurt is a must if Spurs want to secure automatic qualification for the round of 16 and avoid the chaos of the play-offs.

The hosts, meanwhile, are also enduring a miserable campaign. Manager Dino Toppmoller was dismissed less than a fortnight ago, ending a three-year spell in charge.

Frankfurt are winless in any competition for over a month and come into this one on the back of two straight defeats, losing 3-2 to Qarabag in the Champions League before falling 1-3 at home to Hoffenheim at the weekend.

What time does Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Hotspur kick off?

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Hotspur: head-to-head record

Tottenham team news

Tottenham will be without Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison due to injury. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remain sidelined and, in any case, are not registered in Spurs’ Champions League squad.

Radu Dragușin, Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma and Mathys Tel are all fully fit but also unavailable after failing to be registered for the competition.

Joao Palhinha remains a doubt, having not featured in any of Tottenham’s previous three matches, with clarification expected from Thomas Frank closer to kick-off.

Eintracht Frankfurt team news

Eintracht Frankfurt will be without Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnoutalib and Michy Batshuayi for Wednesday night’s clash.

Predicted Tottenham line-up

Tottenham: Vicario; Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Gray, Simons; Odobert, Solanke, Kolo Muani

Frankfurt: Kaua; Collins, Koch, Theate; Kristensen; Skhiri, Chaibi, Brown; Doan, Uzun, Kalimuendo-Muinga

Our prediction

Tottenham’s centre-back pairing of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven will be the ones to watch. Not only have they been Spurs’ most reliable defensive performers, they also look the biggest goal threat at the moment, which says plenty about how blunt Tottenham’s attack has been under Thomas Frank.

Frankfurt sit 33rd out of 36 teams in the Champions League table, with a top-16 finish already out of reach. Pride is all they have left to play for, but a loud home crowd will ensure this is anything but straightforward.

On the other side, Spurs supporters made their feelings clear after the Burnley draw, with chants calling for Frank’s dismissal ringing out from the away end.

Anything less than three points here could see Tottenham slip out of the secure top-eight positions, and that would very likely spell the end of Frank’s tenure. Even a supportive board can only absorb so much pressure before acting.

Roma are now growing in confidence about landing a Tottenham Hotspur star before the January transfer window slams shut.

It emerged a few days ago that Spurs had closed the door on Radu Dragusin’s sale in January and had informed Roma that the player would not be allowed to leave mid-season.

However, over the last few days, reports from Italy have suggested that the Giallorossi are continuing to push for the Tottenham defender, who they identified as their top target.

It has now been revealed that the Serie A club have one thing working in their favour as they try to get the deal over the line.

Why Roma are confident of striking deal with Tottenham over Radu Dragusin

According to a report in Corriere dello Sport, the Italian club’s owner, Ryan Friedkin, has given the green light for the Romanian to be signed.

Roma sporting director Ricky Massara is pushing hard for the deal and is holding conversations with Spurs as well as the player’s camp.

The outlet backs up what we have heard from other sources by stating that Tottenham either want €20m (£17.4) upfront for Dragusin or an obligation to buy of the same value attached to any loan deal.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Roma are ‘increasingly positive’ of striking a deal with the North London club, mainly because the defender wants to move to the Stadio Olimpico and has already agreed personal terms with the Serie A side.

Dragusin’s desire to join Roma is ‘weighing like a milestone’ in the Italian club’s discussions with Spurs.

Why Dragusin’s move may accelerate over the coming days

Corriere dello Sport say that Dragusin got married in Bucharest on Tuesday, and the Tottenham defender was continuing to hold talks with the Roma sporting director even on his wedding day.

The centre-back is now back in London following his wedding, and so is his agent, and they will hold further exit talks over the coming days.

The publication adds that despite suggestions of RB Leipzig’s interest in Dragusin, Roma have no concerns aboutthe Bundesliga club hijacking the deal.
