Jeff Stelling has called on Hull City to reach out to Andy Robertson following their Premier League return. Will the Tigers make a move for their former star?
Jeff Stelling has a message for Hull City: pick up the phone and call Andy Robertson. The former Soccer Saturday presenter believes the newly-promoted club should seize the opportunity to bring back the Scottish left-back, now a free agent.
Robertson left Hull City after their relegation nine years ago, making a name for himself at Liverpool. His last game for the Reds coincided with Hull's return to the Premier League, creating a neat narrative for a potential reunion.
Stelling made his case on talkSPORT, praising Robertson's contributions at Liverpool. "If I’m Hull City, I’m on the phone to him saying, ‘Why don’t you come back now we’re in the Premier League?'" he urged.
Despite Stelling's enthusiasm, Hull faces stiff competition. Reports suggest that Robertson has an agreement in principle to join Tottenham Hotspur. The left-back's preference appears to lean towards London, which could complicate Hull's efforts to lure him back to the MKM Stadium.
Robertson, who earned £160,000 a week in his final year at Liverpool, might find it tough to consider a return to east Yorkshire, especially with Spurs in the mix. However, Hull could take a page from Sunderland's playbook. The Black Cats made savvy signings after their promotion, leading to a surprising Europa League finish.
If Hull can convince Robertson to return, it could mark a significant moment for the club. The trend of promoted teams signing former Liverpool players is growing, with Coventry reportedly eyeing Gini Wijnaldum. Hull's ambitions could hinge on their ability to attract top talent like Robertson.
As the transfer window unfolds, it will be interesting to see if Hull City can turn Stelling's advice into action and bring back one of their own.
