Slot comments on Robertson future at Liverpool amid Spurs links | OneFootball

Arne Slot says he needs “all my players” amid reports linking Andy Robertson with a move away from Liverpool in the January transfer window.

The left-back played 45 minutes of the Reds’ 3-2 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday evening, despite strong interest from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal.

Spurs and Liverpool have reportedly entered talks about a potential transfer this month, with Sky Sports News claiming a fee of around £5 million has been discussed.

Robertson’s contract runs out at the end of this season, meaning he can leave on a free transfer in the summer. The Scotland international has also been linked with Celtic.

When asked about Robertson’s future, Liverpool boss Slot said: “I need all my players. I always knew that another 90 minutes for Milos Kerkez against an intense Bournemouth side was not a possibility so I already knew I had to bring Robertson in.

“But I had already made one substitution, so you only have two windows left so I brought him on at half time to make sure Kerkez stays available for the rest of the season. I have to manage that. The last thing we need is another injury.”

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk added that he did not want to see the 31-year-old full-back depart Anfield.

“I speak to him everyday, he’s my vice captain,” the Dutchman said. “Robbo is a very important member of our team and I want him to stay. Whatever happens. We’ll see.”

Robertson has only made four starts in the Premier League this season and may look to leave the club this month in search of more minutes ahead of the FIFA World Cup.
