"It was reported this week that long-serving full-back Robertson is in talks over a move to Premier League rivals Tottenham before the window slams shut. However, Reds skipper Van Dijk wants to see the Scotland international - Liverpool's vice-captain - to stay put at Anfield. Van Dijk, speaking after Liverpool's 3-2 Premier League defeat to Bournemouth, said: "He's my vice-captain. "Robbo is a very important member of our team and I want him to stay but whatever happens, let's see.""
"Robertson has been an outstanding servant to Liverpool since joining from Hull City in 2017. The 31-year-old, who is out of contract at the end of the campaign, counts two Premier League titles and a Champions League trophy among the nine major honours he has won with Liverpool. However, he has been predominantly displaced by close-season arrival Milos Kerkez as first-choice left-back, and with a World Cup campaign with Scotland on the horizon, it looks as though he could opt for pastures new."
Virgil van Dijk expressed a desire for Andy Robertson to stay at Liverpool beyond the transfer window, calling him a very important member and his vice-captain. Robertson is reportedly in talks over a move to Tottenham before the window closes. The 31-year-old joined from Hull City in 2017, is out of contract at season's end, and has won nine major honours including two Premier League titles and a Champions League. He has been largely displaced by Milos Kerkez as first-choice left-back. With a Scotland World Cup campaign approaching, a transfer appears possible, and Van Dijk declined to predict Robertson's squad status.
