Andrew Robertson hesitant to join Celtic this summer

Liverpool fan favourite Andrew Robertson is reportedly hesitant to join Celtic in the summer transfer window amid his links with Tottenham Hotspur.

According to a report by Football Insider, Andrew Robertson is the subject of interest from Celtic. The Scottish Premiership champions are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a left-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 32-year-old Liverpool wide player has emerged as a target for them.

However, the latest report has brought bad news for Celtic, as the Scotsman is hesitant to join the Hoops. Robertson “has doubts about signing for Celtic” in the summer transfer window amid his links with Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid, with the update boosting the two high-profile clubs’ prospects.

How has Andrew Robertson fared at Liverpool?

Andrew Robertson has established himself as one of the world’s best left-backs since joining Liverpool from Hull City in July 2017. The 32-year-old has made exponential progress in the last eight and a half years, having been a mainstay at the back for the Merseyside club for most of his stint at Anfield.

The Scottish international has made over 350 appearances for Liverpool thus far while chipping in with 13 goals and 69 assists. However, Robertson faces an uncertain future at Anfield, as he has entered the final six months of his contract. Meanwhile, the veteran left-back has no shortage of suitors, with Celtic among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Summer homecoming on the horizon?

Andrew Robertson has been on Celtic’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest is somewhat surprising, as the Scottish Premiership champions have three left-backs in their squad. However, Robertson and Kieran Tierney’s versatility means the duo can coexist on the left side of the Celtic defence, as they do for the Scottish national side.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, the North London club wanted to sign the 32-year-old Scot in the winter transfer window, but a deal did not materialise. The continued interest makes sense, even though the Lilywhites signed Souza earlier this year. However, Ben Davies is likely to leave Tottenham this summer, while Destiny Udogie’s long-term future remains uncertain.

The latest report has boosted Tottenham’s prospects, as Robertson is hesitant to join Celtic in the summer transfer window. The Scotsman “has doubts about signing for Celtic” in the summer transfer window amid his links with Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Liverpool fan favourite.
