Tottenham Hotspur confirms signing of Andy Robertson
Tottenham Hotspur has officially announced the acquisition of Andy Robertson, who will arrive at the north London club as a free agent next month, reports BritPanorama.
The 32-year-old Scotland captain is leaving Liverpool following the expiration of his contract, with the move to Spurs taking effect from 1 July.
Robertson revealed his intention to leave Anfield back in April, with Tottenham moving quickly to secure his signature once they confirmed their top-flight status. The club’s Premier League survival was sealed on the final matchday through a narrow victory against Everton, finishing just two points above the relegation zone.
Spurs had initially pursued the left-back during the January transfer window, but Liverpool opted against authorising a mid-season departure at that time. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed his admiration for the Scottish defender upon confirming the deal, stating: “Andy is someone I’ve admired for a number of years and he will bring outstanding technical qualities, experience, leadership and mentality to our team.”
De Zerbi noted that Robertson is a proven winner at the highest level and is someone who can make a significant impact on and off the pitch. Sporting director Johan Lange echoed this sentiment, describing Robertson as “one of the best of all time in the Premier League” at his position, highlighting his character and professionalism as invaluable assets for squad development.
During his time at Liverpool, Robertson accumulated a remarkable collection of silverware over nine seasons. His accolades include two Premier League winners’ medals, lifting the title in 2019-20 and again in 2024-25, alongside Champions League victories in both 2018-19 and 2021-22.
His trophy cabinet also features an FA Cup and two Carabao Cup triumphs. Arriving from Hull City in 2017, Robertson made 378 appearances for Liverpool, contributing 14 goals and 69 assists in his defensive role. Although he had been a mainstay in the squad, his final season saw him primarily serve as a backup to Milos Kerkez, starting only 11 league matches while making 36 appearances overall.
Robertson represents the first of several defensive reinforcements expected at Tottenham this summer. Marcos Senesi is poised to become the second arrival, with the Bournemouth centre-back set to join on a free transfer after his contract expires. Personal terms with the 29-year-old Argentina international remain to be finalised, although negotiations are progressing towards completion. Senesi featured in all but one of Bournemouth’s league fixtures last season as they secured a sixth-place finish and European qualification.
Tottenham have also submitted a bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, but reports suggest the initial offer was turned down. The Dutch international previously worked under De Zerbi at the Amex Stadium and has twelve months remaining on his current deal. As Tottenham aims for a renewed stature in the Premier League, the focus will be on how these signings influence their campaign ahead.
