Andy Robertson has officially been announced as a new Tottenham Hotspur player. It is believed that Spurs successfully fended off a late Juventus attempt to sign to the Liverpool legend.
The Scotland captain is leaves Liverpool as one of the modern greats of the Jürgen Klopp era, a player who helped redefine the attacking full‑back role at Anfield and who wrote his name into club folklore with a haul of major trophies along the way.
The deal was widely reported on and expected for many weeks prior.
A statement from the North London club read:
“We are delighted to announce the signing of Andy Robertson.”
“A leader on and off the field, the highly decorated Scotland captain will join the Club on 1 July following the expiration of his contract at Liverpool.”
Manager Roberto De Zerbi said of the coup: “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 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, and he shares our ambition and determination to bring success back to the Club.”
