Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson was heavily linked with a move away from the club during the winter transfer window.

Tottenham wanted to sign Andrew Robertson for a knockdown price. The Liverpool full-back will be out of contract at the end of the season, and there were rumours that he could leave in January. He has struggled for regular opportunities this season.

Milos Kerkez is currently the first-choice left-back at Liverpool, and the Scottish international will look to play more often. He is too good to sit on the bench regularly. Meanwhile, a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Liverpool are now considering whether to offer him a contract extension.

The development will come as a huge blow for Tottenham, who are still hoping to secure his signature in the summer despite the collapsing winter move. It will be interesting to see if the Scottish defender is willing to extend his deal with the Premier League champions.

Can Liverpool convince Robertson to stay?

Liverpool will not be able to offer him regular opportunities. However, the Scot is a fan favourite at the club, and he holds Liverpool in great admiration and respect. It would not be incomprehensible for him to sign a new deal. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.

Apart from being a quality player, he is a leader of the dressing room. Keeping him at the club for a couple of seasons could prove wise. Kerkez is a young player who can be inconsistent. Liverpool will need a quality mentor for him, and keeping Robertson would be ideal. It remains to be seen what he decides over the next few months.

Tottenham will be able to offer him regular opportunities at a high level, which is likely to be an attractive option for the player as well. If they can convince him to join the club on a free transfer, it would be a masterstroke for the London club. They need to replace Ben Davies, and signing the Scottish international would be ideal.
