Andy Robertson is reportedly set to join Tottenham Hotspur after the club secured Premier League survival, with an agreement in principle already reached for the experienced Scottish left-back, according to Tottenham Transfer News on X.
The transfer, which depended on Spurs avoiding relegation, is now expected to move forward following Sunday’s crucial victory over Everton. Robertson’s proposed arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could become one of the standout Premier League deals of the summer, as Tottenham Hotspur continue preparations for a major rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi.
The Scotland international has spent the peak years of his career with Liverpool, where he developed into one of the finest left-backs in world football during the successful era under Jurgen Klopp. With a Premier League title, Champions League success, and more than 330 appearances to his name, Robertson brings elite-level experience, leadership, and consistency despite now being in the latter stages of his career at 32.
A move had nearly materialised during the January transfer window, with both player and club interested in reaching an agreement. However, Liverpool were unwilling to weaken their squad midway through the season, while the temporary absence of Kostas Tsimikas on loan at AS Roma complicated matters further. Tottenham’s survival has now cleared the final hurdle, and sources suggest personal terms have effectively been settled for some time.
For De Zerbi, Robertson’s signing would solve a long-standing issue at left-back. The position has been a major concern throughout a difficult campaign, with Destiny Udogie struggling for consistency and Spurs lacking dependable depth in that area. Robertson’s arrival would add quality, experience, and a winning mentality to a squad De Zerbi is determined to reshape.
Tottenham’s summer rebuild now appears fully underway. After recent movement involving Marcos Senesi, the expected addition of Robertson shortly after securing survival signals a club prepared to act decisively in the transfer market. Early signs suggest De Zerbi is wasting no time in transforming his squad ahead of the new season.
