Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur were interested in signing him during the January transfer window, but the Scotland international ultimately opted to remain at Anfield.
The experienced defender addressed the speculation in recent comments published by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, revealing his decision to remain at the club that has defined his career for the past decade.
Despite ongoing debate over the club’s long-term plans in defense, Robertson remains a key figure in Liverpool’s squad.
An approach from Tottenham in January raised questions about his future, but the 31-year-old revealed that loyalty and dedication played a key role in his decision.
Tottenham were interested in a January move for Robertson
Tottenham are reportedly exploring options to strengthen the left side of their defense during the winter period, and Robertson’s experience and leadership make him an attractive candidate.
The Scotland international has long been regarded as one of the most consistent full-backs in the Premier League, known for his relentless work rate, attacking prowess and defensive resilience.
However, Robertson admitted that despite his interest, the move did not materialize as he preferred to continue his journey with Liverpool.
“There was obviously interest from Spurs in January… but the decision was that I wanted to stay.”
“This club has given me everything and I have given everything to this club. I have always been dedicated.”
“I will make an announcement as soon as my future career path is decided.”
Robertson has had an outstanding career at Liverpool.
Since joining Liverpool from Hull City in 2017, Robertson has become one of the club’s most influential players.
Under former manager Jurgen Klopp, he formed a legendary full-back partnership with Trent Alexander-Arnold and helped redefine Liverpool’s attacking system.
During his time at the club, Robertson played a key role in a number of successes including the Premier League title, Champions League title, FA Cup and League Cup wins.
His leadership qualities made him a senior figure in the changing room as well.
The interest from Tottenham highlights the continued demand for Robertson’s experience, but the defender’s decision to stay shows his deep links with Liverpool.
A decision on his next chapter is likely to be made later this year, as Liverpool continue to plan their future squad.
