Andy Robertson has joined Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer following his departure from Liverpool. The 32-year-old Scotland captain, who was close to moving to Spurs in January, has now signed after his contract at Anfield expired.
Robertson becomes the first signing under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who is expected to oversee a summer rebuild. De Zerbi praised the left-back, saying: '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.'
The Scot's immediate focus is on captaining Scotland at this summer's World Cup. In a video message from Scotland's camp in the United States, Robertson said: 'I cannot wait to play for you guys... I cannot wait to play in the stadium for the first time in front of you.'
Robertson joined Liverpool from Hull City for £8 million in 2017 and made 378 appearances, winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League. However, he made only 11 Premier League starts last season. Tottenham sporting director Johan Lange described him as 'one of the best left-backs of all time in the Premier League.'
