Liverpool star Andy Robertson's prospective move to Tottenham now appears to be off

Liverpool have decided against selling Andy Robertson this month due to their defensive injury crisis.

Tottenham were in advanced talks to buy the Scotland captain for around £5million but the Premier League champions have pulled the plug on the deal.

As of Friday, any move would have been sanctioned in the best interests of both player and club.

Given more injuries occurred in Saturday’s 3-2 defeat at Bournemouth, with Joe Gomez limping off in the first half, the Reds thought it was no longer a sensible move to allow their vice-captain to depart this month.

Robertson, it is believed, acted with the utmost professionalism throughout. His contract expires in the summer and a future move to Tottenham cannot be ruled out as he liked the project they were offering.

AS Roma director Ricky Massara said on Sunday that they had held talks with Liverpool over the English side recalling Kostas Tsimikas from a loan in Italy.

It remains to be seen whether that is completely ruled out now but, having taken stock of all options, Robertson is set to stay on Merseyside this month.
