Andy Robertson reveals near transfer to Everton during his youth
Summary

Andy Robertson, a standout player for Liverpool, disclosed that he almost joined Everton for under £1 million in 2014 while at Dundee United. The Toffees expressed interest and even planned for a loan back to Dundee prior to potentially stepping in as Leighton Baines' replacement. However, the deal fell through as Dundee United sought £1.5 million, ultimately selling him to Hull City for £2.85 million later that summer. Robertson's successful tenure at Liverpool included multiple league titles and a Champions League trophy before moving to Tottenham on a free transfer this year.
