Spurs suffer setback in Robertson pursuit

Tottenham's hopes of landing Liverpool defender Andy Robertson have taken a significant blow after Reds boss Arne Slot, speaking after the 3-2 defeat by Bournemouth, revealed that he wasn’t willing to let any of his players leave. Asked whether he wanted Robertson to stay, the Dutchman said: "I think I need all my players. Robbo had to come in at half-time, in my opinion. I always knew that for Milos Kerkez, another 90 minutes against a very intense Bournemouth side was not a possibility for him, so I knew I would have to bring Robertson in."
