If dem no escape, even the verbal agreement with Robertson fit scatter. The player sef don show interest for Tottenham project, but him dey wait to see if dem go remain for top flight.
Liverpool go miss Robertson, but dem dey prepare for new era. Mohamed Salah sef go leave with am. For Tottenham, if dem manage to stay up and sign Robertson, na big win. Him go bring experience, leadership, and winning mentality wey Spurs dey lack for defence.
But Tottenham no dey look only Robertson. Dem dey watch Benjamin Nygren from Celtic. The Swedish player don score 19 goals and give eight assists for 50 appearances. Celtic fit sell am for around £26 million. Na smart signing dat one go be, mix young talent with experienced player like Robertson.
