The left-back made 378 appearances for Liverpool, winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League during his tenure. [1, 2] He has also earned 92 caps for Scotland and is expected to lead the national side at the upcoming summer World Cup. [1]
Spurs had initially tried to sign Robertson during the January 2026 transfer window, but Liverpool declined to let him leave at that time due to defensive cover concerns. [1, 2] Although Serie A side Juventus showed late interest, Tottenham are increasingly confident they will secure the free transfer. [2]
Tottenham sees Robertson as a key member of the leadership group that new manager Roberto de Zerbi is building at the club. [2] Spurs secured their Premier League survival on the final day of last season with a win over Everton under de Zerbi's management. [1]
The club’s non-executive chairman Peter Charrington pledged significant investment in the transfer market this summer as part of a multi-window rebuilding effort. "We will invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen, with this summer representing an important first step in that work," he said. [2]
Robertson’s signing is expected to be finalized soon as Tottenham targets more reinforcements ahead of the 2026-27 season. [2]
