Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Andy Robertson following the defender’s departure from Liverpool at the end of his contract.
The Scotland captain joins Spurs as a free agent, bringing an end to a hugely successful nine-year spell at Anfield.
Robertson’s move had been expected for several days, with Tottenham emerging as the clear frontrunners for his signature once his Liverpool exit was confirmed.
The 32-year-old becomes one of the first major additions of the summer for Roberto De Zerbi as Tottenham continue preparations for the new campaign.
Spurs officially [announced](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/1071931/robertson-signing-secured) the deal on Friday, with De Zerbi praising the experience and winning mentality Robertson will bring to his squad.
The Italian described the defender as a player he has admired for many years and believes his leadership qualities will prove valuable both on and off the pitch.
Robertson leaves Liverpool as one of the most decorated full-backs in the club’s modern history.
Since arriving from Hull City in 2017, the Scotland international made 378 appearances, scored 14 goals and registered 69 assists.
He played a key role in one of the most successful periods in Liverpool’s recent history, helping them win two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup and two Carabao Cups.
The defender became renowned for his relentless energy, attacking quality and consistency during his peak years under Jurgen Klopp.
Alongside former teammate Trent Alexander-Arnold, Robertson helped redefine the role of a modern attacking full-back and was instrumental in Liverpool’s success both domestically and in Europe.
His final season at Anfield saw his role reduced following the arrival of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.
While Robertson still made 36 appearances across all competitions, he started only 11 Premier League matches as Liverpool increasingly looked towards a younger option at left-back.
That situation ultimately paved the way for his departure when his contract expired this summer.
Tottenham had explored the possibility of signing Robertson during the winter transfer window but Liverpool were unwilling to sanction a mid-season exit.
The North London club reignited their interest once it became clear he would be available on a free transfer.
Robertson now arrives at Tottenham with a wealth of experience at the highest level and more than 60 international caps for Scotland.
His signing represents another statement of intent from Spurs as they look to build under De Zerbi and continue moving forward after securing their Premier League status on the final day of last season.
For Robertson, meanwhile, a new chapter begins in North London after establishing himself as one of Liverpool’s greatest modern-era defenders.
