Tottenham Hotspur have announced the signing of Liverpool defender Andy Robertson. The experienced left-back is currently across the pond preparing for the World Cup with Scotland.
The competition in the USA, Mexico and Canada has not prevented the north Londoners from officially confirming him as a Tottenham player. Roberto De Zerbi described the Scottish warrior as "someone I've admired for a number of years" as part of the club's announcement.
Robertson, 32, brings trophy winning mentality and pedigree, having won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Club World Cup while at Anfield. He also arrives as a free agent, having departed the Merseysiders at the end of his contract.

In the announcement, De Zerbi said: "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.
"He is a proven winner at the highest level over a long period and is someone who can be a big player for us, both on and off the pitch. I can't wait to start working with him and seeing the positive impact he will have on everyone around him."
Sporting director Johan Lange also added: "We are delighted to welcome Andy to the club. First and foremost, he is an outstanding left-back - one of the best of all time in the Premier League, and someone who will improve our squad.

"In addition, his quality, character and leadership have been evident throughout a career in which he has regularly competed for - and won - major honours. Andy's professionalism and commitment will also be invaluable to the development of our squad.
"He shares our ambition and determination to bring success back to the Club. We are excited for Andy's new chapter with us and look forward to having him here after the World Cup."
Interestingly, Tottenham are yet to confirm what shirt number the Scot will wear in north London. As part of his video, which also featured an appearance from ex-Spurs skipper Michael Dawson, Robertson's shirt was unveiled, without a number.

Either way, he will jostle for a place with the likes of Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence. He will officially link up with the club on July 1, one day after his Liverpool deal expires.
Last season, Robertson made 24 Premier League appearances, scoring one goal. Ahead of his move, Robertson also uploaded a social media video, where he said: "Hi Tottenham fans, it's me, Andy Robertson here. As you can see, I'm not in Glasgow, I'm in America, just preparing for the World Cup. I just wanted to send you a quick message to say I cannot wait to play for you guys.
"I cannot wait to play in the stadium for the first time in front of you. I'm already looking forward to next season. All the best and I'll see you soon.
