Andy Robertson drops fresh transfer hint after failed Liverpool exit

Andy Robertson has confirmed that he will make a decision about where he'll play his football before the World Cup this summer - with his Liverpool spell set to come to an end.

The Scot has been at Anfield for nine years and, for much of that, has been a mainstay at left-back. He's won the Premier League and the Champions League previously but this year has had to accept a lesser role with his minutes dropping off.

Robertson's contract expires in the summer and there was talk of a move to Tottenham back in January. That switch never materialised but the left-back, who will go to another major tournament with his country, has said that he will make a call on his next club in the coming weeks.

The 32-year-old, who has played 372 times for the Reds, will not be short of suitors and is likely keen to play regularly, which isn't on offer at Liverpool currently with Milos Kerkez ahead of him in the pecking order.

Robertson said: “Will I make a decision before the World Cup? Yeah, that will definitely happen. For me, I will make up my mind before the summer and it’s always been in my head that I don’t want it hanging over me. I think that’s important, I don’t think anyone wants that and everyone would be in the same boat.

“If you’re out of contract and sign a new contract, or whatever you’re doing - you always want that sorted before you go into a big tournament. I have always worked towards that and have been consistent with it. It’s only eight or nine weeks, so from now until the end I’ll sit down with my family and see what we want."

Robertson, born in Glasgow, is a boyhood Celtic fan and his potential availability has led to suggestions of a move to Parkhead. The Celtic recruitment has long been criticised but adding a proven winner would be a huge coup for a team that could miss out on the title this season.

The Liverpool ace attempted to swerve talk of a move as he said: “It’s not really one to talk about (Celtic). Obviously I was at Celtic as a kid and had a season ticket, that’s not a secret. But it’s not something I really want to get into.

“The options that are on the table for me at the minute will stay private and that’s the way I’ve always done it. People can talk and there’s been a lot of talk around it, where I’m going to go next. I’ve seen it but I stay away from it all now."
