The Hull City star has been heavily linked with Liverpool, but the bookies think Burnley will be his next destination.
Hull City’s Andrew Robertson in action
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed the Clarets as the shock new favourites in the race to sign Tigers defender Andrew Robertson, who has been heavily linked with the Reds recently.
The 23-year-old left-back was sensational for Hull last season, but their relegation to the Championship has opened the door for Premier League clubs to make a move for the Scot.

Liverpool’s need for a new left sided defender is clear, after James Milner performed an auxiliary role in the left-back slot for the entirety of this season just gone.
Sky Sports reported yesterday that the Humberside outfit have already received bids for Robertson, without naming the clubs who supposedly submitted offers for the left-back.
SkyBET firmly believe that his next destination could be Turf Moor, however, and list Burnley as 4/5 favourites in the race to sign him, ahead of Liverpool at 9/4.

They make him 16/1 to remain at the KCOM Stadium, so an exit from the club for Robertson seems to be nailed on.
If Sean Dyche does in fact manage to bring the 23-year-old to Lancashire this summer, it would be a huge statement of intent from Burnley, and an indication of their ambition for the future.
