Robertson's Potential Exit Could Bring Tsimikas Back to Liverpool

Liverpool is facing a potential reshuffle in the left-back position as Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to sign Andy Robertson during the winter transfer window. Spurs are unwilling to wait until the summer when Robertson's contract expires and are seeking to secure his services immediately. This possible departure has put Liverpool on alert, with Arne Slot's team seriously considering recalling Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma. This move is being considered to avoid leaving a gap in the left side of the defense. Robertson has reportedly made it clear to Liverpool that he wishes to leave, while Tsimikas is said to be open to the idea of returning to Anfield. His performance at Roma has been underwhelming, resulting in limited playing time. Tsimikas has made 16 appearances and provided one assist for Roma across all competitions. However, the lack of consistent game time appears to make him receptive to a return to the English club. The recall of Tsimikas seems to be the most likely solution for Liverpool, given the current circumstances.
