Andy Robertson discusses near transfer to Everton in 2014

Summary

Andy Robertson revealed on the Stick To Football podcast that he nearly joined Everton from Dundee United in January 2014. The club made a £750,000 bid, which Dundee United rejected, wanting £1.5 million instead. At the time, Everton planned to loan Robertson back for six months and eventually have him succeed Leighton Baines. Instead, he moved to Hull City and later signed with Liverpool for £8 million in 2017, where he became a key player in multiple title-winning teams. Robertson's career trajectory was significantly shaped by this transfer situation.
