Scottish defender Andy Robertson’s form has been inconsistent.One game he is excellent, the next he is increasingly making ordinary mistakes, and at the age of 30, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the 30-year-old to play two games every week in a side that is up and down.
Reserve Kostas Tsimikas has also been out injured for periods each season, and there is a crying need to secure a regular class defender who can compete with the Scotland captain.
Apart from realistic targets such as Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, Canada defender Alphonso Davies, whose contract is about to expire with Bayern Munich, has also been mentioned as a possible candidate.
Mick Brown, who used to scout for Manchester United and Tottenham, mentioned Liverpool’s interest in the player and revealed that the club’s scouts rate him highly. On the other hand, he said that they must have some solution in terms of money.
“From what I hear, Liverpool have had scouts watching him,”
“They’ll know all about him and they’ll be making their assessment on how good they think he is.”
“Then, the scouts will report back to the chief scout or even to the manager before a final decision is made based on what they’ve seen.”
“The fact he’s available on a free is a big draw as well, for a player of his stature, because he’s very highly regarded.”
“There is lots of interest in him from clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid, so Liverpool may not be able to compete financially with them.”
“But if they’re looking that closely at him, they must be confident that they can reach an agreement.”
