Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Scotland captain Andy Robertson on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Liverpool, bringing one of the Premier League’s most accomplished full-backs to North London.
The 32-year-old will officially join Spurs on July 1 after ending a remarkable nine-year spell at Liverpool, where he established himself as one of the finest left-backs of his generation and won every major trophy available.
Robertson arrives with a wealth of experience, leadership qualities and a decorated career that has seen him compete at the highest level in domestic and European football.
His acquisition represents a significant addition to Roberto De Zerbi’s squad as Tottenham seek to challenge for major honours in the coming years especially after battling against relegation to survive on the last day.
Confirming the move, Tottenham said in a statement: “We are delighted to announce the signing of Andy Robertson.”
The club also highlighted the defender’s leadership credentials, noting that the Scotland captain will bring invaluable experience to a squad aiming to return to the summit of English football.
Spurs Excited by Robertson’s Arrival
Tottenham Sporting Director Johan Lange expressed his delight at securing the services of the experienced defender.
“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.”

His professionalism and qualities he possesses were also hailed by Lange.
“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.”
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi also spoke highly of the Scottish international, praising both his footballing ability and winning mentality. “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,” the Italian tactician said. “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.”
A Liverpool Legend Begins a New Chapter
Robertson leaves Liverpool after an unforgettable nine-year stay at Anfield following his move from Hull City in 2017. During that period, he became a key figure in one of the most successful eras in the club’s modern history.
The Scottish defender played an instrumental role as Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for a league title by winning the Premier League in 2020, securing the club’s first English championship of the 21st century. He later added a second Premier League winners’ medal in 2025.
His influence extended beyond domestic competition. Robertson was a crucial member of the Liverpool side that conquered Europe in 2019, helping the Reds lift the UEFA Champions League trophy after a 14-year wait.
The left-back featured prominently throughout that campaign and played a vital role in the team’s defensive solidity and attacking threat from wide areas.
In addition to the Premier League and Champions League titles, Robertson collected the UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup, FA Cup, League Cup and Community Shield during his time in Merseyside.
His consistency, relentless energy and leadership made him a fan favourite and eventually earned him the role of vice-captain in his final season with the club.
Before his move to Liverpool, Robertson’s rise through football was nothing short of extraordinary. He began his senior career with amateur side Queen’s Park before impressing at Dundee United and Hull City, where he helped the Tigers secure promotion to the Premier League in 2016.
On the international stage, Robertson has been equally influential. Scotland’s captain since 2018, he led his country to the UEFA European Championships in 2020 and 2024 and captained the national team to qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Scotland’s first appearance at the tournament this century.
Now, after a trophy-laden spell at Liverpool, Robertson embarks on a new challenge with Tottenham, where the club hopes his experience, leadership and winning mentality can help usher in a successful new era under De Zerbi.
