Alex Pantling/Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur are now facing major competition for Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson from Fenerbahce, who view the Scotland international as a statement signing. Tottenham are again keen and Robertson has been widely expected to move to north London should Spurs survive in the Premier League.

The Yellow Canaries view the left-back as a significant statement signing, believing Robertson would represent a ‘major coup’ both on and off the pitch. Archie Brown, who is currently Fenerbahce’s first-choice left-back, recently received interest from Nottingham Forest, a situation that could potentially create space for the Scottish international.

A move to Turkey could open the door to the first overseas chapter of his career, but before attention fully shifts towards his next phase, Robertson’s focus will be on one final appearance at Anfield in Liverpool colours and the opportunity to receive a fitting farewell against Brentford. Whether the Fenerbahce interest concerns Tottenham remains to be seen, but the Turkish giants can offer the left-back Champions League football, which is not the case in north London.
