There's one transfer target Tottenham shouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole this summer

Tottenham Hotspur have already been linked to a few well known transfer targets in the summer window evne though their fate in the Premier League has yet to be decided and is looking increasingly bleak despite a draw and a win in their last two matches. With Xavi Simons done in by an ACL tear, too, Spurs are in serious trouble going forward with the worst injury luck we have ever seen in this league.

One of the players Tottenham are being linked to this summer is left back Andrew Robertson, who apparently has a verbal agreement in place with the Lilywhites to join the embattled Big Six club if they are able to save themselves from relegation.

It's such a terrible that it is unfathomable. Spurs supporters could not understand the links back in January when Spurs were already on the verge of signing "Robbo" - the only reason why they didn't was because Liverpool couldn't bring Kostas Tsimikas back from his loan in Rome - and it looks even worse now that Spurs have sealed the fact that they are one of the worst teams in Europe's top five leagues at the moment.

Andrew Robertson is not good enough

Robertson is a 32 year old left back who is clearly not good enough for the Reds, and even though Milos Kerkez has had his struggles in his first season at Anfeld, every time Arne Slot tried going back to Robertson at the behest of his fans, the club quickly realized just why they were galvanized to splurge on Kerkez from Bournemouth in the first place.

At this point, Andrew Robertson is so finished that he is beneath the level of new Tottenham Hotspur left back prospect Souza, and he might not be even be a better player than underwhelming makeshift left back Djed Spence either.

Signing Robertson would doom Destiny Udogie's future, and while Udogie is never really healthy enough to help Tottenham, ten games of Destiny is preferable to 30 games of Andy, who gets cooked by even the most plodding of wingers at this stage.

Tottenham have to avoid Robertson at all costs. He is a free agent in name only, because he would command a very low fee on the transfer market anyway. If anything, signing him as a free agent is worse, because the increase in wages and bonuses would only make his contract even worse - and after the Conor Gallagher debacle this January, the last thing that Spurs need is another overpaid, overrated veteran with only "pedigree" as an alleged benefit.
