Andy Robertsons future at Liverpool has been in doubt for some time but he could be about to get a fresh start.
The Scot has been due to be out of contract this summer, and has been linked with a move away from Anfield after falling behind Milos Kerkez in the pecking order at left-back.
Its now being reported that Spurs have opened talks to sign Robertson before the end of the January transfer window, which would end nine highly successful years at Liverpool.
Why Spurs could be a smart move
Initially, a summer departure appeared more likely, and former Reds defender Stephen Warnock had pondered whether Robertson might choose to move abroad, after compatriot Scott McTominays success at Napoli.
It was whether hed fancy a complete change, whether hed look at the likes of McTominay in the Scotland squad and think a change of lifestyle was exactly what he wanted whether hed go to Italy, try his hand there and see if that fitted him, Warnock tells FourFourTwo.
But the one thing youd say with him is whoever gets him, theyre getting one of the most professional players whos played in the Premier League over the past 10 years or so, and someone whos still got the capability to play at the highest level.
Spurs are now looking likely to be that club, after opening negotiations over a deal, and Warnock thinks it makes complete sense.
I had thought that one of the teams Id look at would be Spurs, he says, speaking in association with NewBettingSites.uk.
When you look at Spurs and their troubles in defence, hes someone whod bring that experience and understanding.
I think Spurs would be a brilliant club for him a club who should be fighting higher up the league table, but need that experience in certain key areas to help them along.
