The Story in 60 Seconds

Football FanCast writer Tom Cunningham argues that Tottenham Hotspur should look to sell summer signing Andy Robertson as soon as possible. Cunningham compares the 32-year-old left-back's arrival on a free transfer from Liverpool to Spurs' earlier signing of Ivan Perisic, contending that the club once again mistakenly prioritized aging experience over players who are currently performing at their peak.

Tottenham entered the relegation zone after six matches under manager Roberto De Zerbi, having failed to win their opening Premier League fixtures ahead of hosting Coventry City. Cunningham points to Robertson's costly error in a 3-2 defeat against Aston Villa as evidence of his decline, urging Tottenham to prioritize youth like Destiny Udogie instead.
