Hull City left back Andrew Robertson has been linked with a move to Everton.
Graeme Souness
Pundit Graeme Souness has told Sky Sports that he thinks there is a ‘real chance’ that Hull City’s Andrew Robertson will earn an instant return to the Premier League.
Robertson was in action for Scotland against England on Saturday evening, in what proved to be a dramatic game after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s opener for England at Hampden Park.

Scotland’s Leigh Griffiths scored two free kicks in three minutes to turn the game on its head late in the day, but Harry Kane’s last gasp equaliser rescued a point for England.
Robertson impressed at left back, mostly against Marcus Rashford, and his performance will only serve to increase speculation about his future with Hull City following their relegation from the Premier League.
The Mirror recently claimed that Everton are looking to sign Robertson this summer, potentially lining him up as the long-term replacement for Leighton Baines at left back.
Hull City’s Andrew Robertson
Robertson, who joined Hull from Dundee United in 2014, showed real promise in the Premier League this past season, notching one goal and two assists in 33 Premier League appearances.
Now, the 23-year-old has just one year left on his contract at the KCOM Stadium, and Everton – as well as other Premier League clubs – may be eyeing a move to sign him this summer.

After his display against England, pundit Graeme Souness has told Sky Sports that he understands why Premier League clubs would be keen, and believes there is a real chance that Robertson will leave for a return to the top flight this summer.
“I can understand why a lot of people do like him,” said Souness. “When clubs get relegated the vultures hover round and try to cherry-pick the best ones available. I would think there’s a real chance he’ll leave Hull,” he added.
