Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of Andrew Robertson, with transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirming that a deal has been struck. The Scottish left-back will arrive at Spurs as a free agent following the expiry of his Liverpool contract, having already agreed personal terms with the club.
Robertson brings considerable Premier League pedigree to north London and is expected to battle Destiny Udogie for the starting berth on the left side of defence next season. At 32, he may have lost a step from his peak, but he still offers Tottenham something they have been looking for — leadership, experience, and dependability.
His ability to pick out precise passes and create chances from wide areas remains one of his key attributes, and that could add a new dimension to Spurs’ attacking play. His winning mentality, forged over years competing at the top level, could also rub off on a relatively inexperienced squad.
Contract length and salary figures have yet to be disclosed. Robertson was said to be earning around £160,000 per week at Liverpool, and with Tottenham having raised their wage ceiling in recent years, similar or even improved terms are not out of the question.
Reaction from supporters has been divided. Some have doubts about the long-term logic of signing a 32-year-old, while others see it as a shrewd addition that brings depth and know-how to a key position — particularly as cover if Udogie were to pick up an injury.
Spurs fans are now awaiting an official announcement, which is expected either in the coming days or once the summer transfer window opens for business.
