During nine successful years at Anfield, Andy Robertson has established himself as one if Liverpool’s greatest-ever full-backs.

The Scot has helped his side win two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a pair of League Cups and the Champions League since joining from Hull City in the summer of 2017.

Zenden on Roberton's proposed next move

The frontrunners for the Scotland skipper’s signature this summer appear to be Tottenham Hotspur, who are set to follow up their long-term interest in the defender following their attempt to land the left-back in the January window.

Any deal to sign Robertson would depend on Tottenham securing their Premier League status, but one former Liverpool star is not convinced about the move.

“My question is, why Tottenham?,” Bolo Zenden asked BOYLE Sports, who offer the latest Champions League betting.

“Is it Andy Robertson himself who put that news out? Is it just a rumour that came about? I mean, if they go down, Robertson will probably never go that way.

“I think that's a question we should ask Robertson. What would be his preference and what would be his dream?

“I think he's 32, I think you still want to have, and you still can have, a good spell. But you want to make the right decision and be at a club where you feel that you're appreciated and you feel that you can still bring the best out of yourself.”

Robertson is set to captain Scotland at this summer’s World Cup, and there have previously been rumours linking the former Queen’s Park and Dundee United man with a return to Celtic, the side he began his football journey with and the one he supported as a boy.

“I also read something about Celtic being a possibility which would be special,” Zenden adds.

“It all depends on the family situation, things that you would like to do, and those are only questions that he himself can answer.

“But of course, I think that it would be nice to still see Robertson playing somewhere in Europe at a high level.”
