Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur have secured an agreement to sign Scottish defender Andrew Robertson, ending Juventus’s hopes of hijacking the deal.
Tottenham have been heavily linked with a move for Robertson in recent months, with the club pursuing his signature since January.
Robertson has decided to leave Liverpool in search of regular playing time, with north London his next destination according to reports.
The 32-year-old has lost his starting spot at Liverpool to Milos Kerkez, making a move away from the club the most logical next step in his career.
Robertson has been an outstanding performer for Liverpool over the years and is expected to bring significant quality to Tottenham’s squad.
His experience, leadership skills, and winning pedigree are seen as exactly what Tottenham require as they look to rebuild following a difficult season.
Tottenham survived relegation by the skin of their teeth last season and will be targeting Champions League qualification in the campaign ahead.
Signing Robertson on a free transfer would represent a shrewd piece of business, allowing the club to add top-level experience without spending significant transfer funds.
Tottenham are also closing in on the signing of Marcos Senesi, meaning the club looks set to bolster their defensive options with two quality free agent additions.
Strengthening the defence without major outlay will free up funds for Tottenham to address other areas of the squad as they prepare for next season.
Robertson himself will be eager to establish himself as a key player at the club, looking to recapture the form and consistency that made him one of the game’s best left-backs.
