Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesAndy RobertsonAndy Robertson will become a free agent at the end of the season and he has been advised to make a shock free transfer to one of Liverpool's biggest rivalsAndy Robertson will leave Liverpool at the end of the season(Image: 2026 Robbie Jay Barratt - AMA)Andy Robertson has been backed for a shock transfer to Chelsea when he leaves Liverpool at the end of the season.The Reds' vice-captain will depart Anfield after a largely brilliant nine-year spell at Anfield after the club decided against offering him a contract extension.Milos Kerkez took Robertson's spot as Liverpool's first-choice left-back last summer, but the Scot has still figured 34 times in all competitions and clearly still has plenty to offer at the highest level.With that in mind, former Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann believes that Robertson could be a shrewd addition to a Chelsea squad due to his experience.Chelsea has faced criticism in recent years for assembling a roster of talented but inexperienced players, with the suggestion that the team's results have suffered due to a lack of steel in the squad.READ MORE: Jamie Carragher explains why Man Utd vs Liverpool is not 'must-watch game'READ MORE: Paul Merson sounds Liverpool alarm in Man Utd prediction as Alan Shearer agrees“I think Chelsea need experience," Hamann said. "If you've got good young players, you need experienced players to bring them on."Sometimes when things go badly, as they have now, the run of form is dreadful, you need experienced players who can calm young players down, where a young player looks up and somebody says to him, ‘Listen, lad, don't worry about it.
We'll be fine.’“I don't think they've got that. So what you see with them now is that when they go behind, they fall apart.
A player like Andy Robertson, they should take him in a heartbeat.“I think he's exactly the type of player Chelsea needs or is crying out for, with one or two more experienced players, they’ve got to give themselves a chance. I don't think the way the team is put together, they give themselves a chance.“Robertson, I'd take him at Chelsea in a heartbeat if he was interested.”(Image: 2023 DeFodi Images)There has been nothing to suggest that Chelsea will move for Robertson, but another London destination could absolutely be on the cards, with Tottenham said to be keen on acquiring Robertson's services.Tottenham attempted to sign Robertson during the January transfer window, but the move did not materialize as Liverpool opted to keep hold of the experienced full-back.Spurs could make another play to sign him in the summer, although their chances of convincing him to move to join would obviously depend on the North London club retaining its status as a Premier League club.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCTransfersAndy RobertsonChelsea FC
