Andy Robertson says he cancelled Liverpool-to-Tottenham move

Andy Robertson has spoken out about the winter speculation that saw him linked with Tottenham Hotspur, admitting the move nearly happened after almost a decade at Anfield but ultimately did not materialise. Liverpool were reported to be willing to respect his wishes, yet the proposed transfer stalled.

The situation was complicated by an injury to Joe Gomez, which affected Liverpool’s defensive options, and Robertson says the final call was his. After scoring in a 3-1 FA Cup victory over Wolves, he confirmed he was the one who pulled the plug, opting to remain with the club that transformed his career.

Reflecting on the decision he 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. I was never not committed. I've been committed to Liverpool for the last eight and a half or nine years now and I'll be committed until I'm no longer needed.
