Andy Robertson\u2019s Premier League record since the 2017\/18 season reads like a blueprint for the modern full-back. Among all left-backs in the competition during this period, the Liverpool star leads in touches inside the opposition box (597), chances created (420), big chances created (87), and assists (56). These numbers underline his immense attacking contribution and consistency over several seasons.<\/p>\n
Yet, despite this statistical dominance, Robertson\u2019s role under new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot appears far from guaranteed. The Scottish international has increasingly found himself viewed as a rotation option rather than an automatic starter, with Slot showing a preference for alternative tactical profiles at left-back.<\/p>\n
Slot\u2019s system emphasizes positional discipline and inverted full-backs who can step into midfield during buildup play. While Robertson has thrived as a high-energy overlapping defender throughout the J\u00fcrgen Klopp era, his traditional wide-running style does not always align with Slot\u2019s evolving structure.<\/p>\n
Adding to the uncertainty are reports linking Robertson with interest from Tottenham Hotspur, who are understood to be in talks with Liverpool over a potential move. Spurs see the Scotland captain as an experienced solution to their left-back needs, while Liverpool may be open to reshaping their defensive unit as Slot builds his squad in his own image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
