Andy Robertson is understood to be heading to Tottenham Hotspur after the club secured their Premier League status, with a deal in principle reportedly already in place for the experienced Scottish left-back, per Tottenham Transfer News on X.
The move had been contingent on Spurs staying up, and Sunday’s vital win over Everton has paved the way for the transfer to proceed. Robertson’s anticipated switch to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could rank among the summer’s most significant Premier League signings, as the club pushes ahead with a substantial overhaul under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Scotland captain spent the prime of his career at Liverpool, establishing himself as one of the best left-backs on the planet during Jurgen Klopp’s trophy-laden reign. Boasting a Premier League title, Champions League glory, and over 330 outings for the club, Robertson carries with him a wealth of top-level experience, leadership qualities, and proven reliability — even if he is now entering the twilight of his career at 32.
A transfer had come close to happening in January, with both parties keen on getting something done. Liverpool, however, refused to lose a key player mid-season, and the situation was further complicated by Kostas Tsimikas being away on loan at AS Roma. With Spurs’ survival now confirmed, the final obstacle has been removed, and it is suggested that personal terms were effectively agreed some time ago.
For De Zerbi, landing Robertson would address a persistent weakness at left-back — a position that has been a source of concern throughout a turbulent season. Destiny Udogie’s inconsistency and a lack of reliable cover in that area have been recurring problems, and Robertson would bring composure, quality, and a winning mentality to a squad the Italian coach is intent on rebuilding.
Tottenham’s summer activity is already gathering momentum. Hot on the heels of recent business involving Marcos Senesi, the imminent arrival of Robertson so soon after securing survival points to a club ready to move quickly and decisively in the transfer market, with De Zerbi wasting little time in laying the groundwork for next season.
