Robertson swaps Anfield for Spurs as his nine-year Liverpool stay ends
Tottenham have signed Scotland captain Andy Robertson as a free agent, ending a nine-year Liverpool spell in which he won the full set of honours on offer.

Andy Robertson is a Tottenham player. Spurs confirmed on June 5 that the Scotland captain will join as a free agent once his Liverpool contract expires at the end of the month, closing a nine-year stay at Anfield that turned a modest signing from Hull into one of the finest attacking full-backs of his generation.
Robertson, 32, will officially move on July 1 on a reported two-year deal. He played his last game for Liverpool in the 1-1 draw with Brentford at Anfield on May 24, a quiet farewell for a player who leaves with nine trophies and close to 400 appearances to his name.
The move had felt inevitable for months. Robertson had slipped behind Milos Kerkez, the Hungary international Liverpool bought to be his long-term successor, and rather than fight for minutes deep into his thirties he chose not to open talks over a new deal. A clean break suited everyone.
What he won at Liverpool
The trophy haul is the easy part to list. Robertson won two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup and a Community Shield, the full set of honours on offer to him during his time there. Add 69 assists from left-back and you have a player who reshaped what the position could give an attacking side.
The fit at Tottenham
For Roberto De Zerbi, this is the kind of signing a rebuild needs. Tottenham only secured their Premier League place on the final day of last season after a campaign spent looking over their shoulder, and De Zerbi, who arrived in March, wants experience and a steadier head in the dressing room. Robertson brings both, along with a left foot that still finds runners from set pieces and the touchline.
There are fair questions about the legs. Robertson is no longer the player who tore up and down the flank for ninety minutes without pause, and De Zerbi asks a great deal of his full-backs. But on a two-year deal with no fee attached, the downside is small and the leadership value is plain.
There is a neat subplot too. Robertson will captain Scotland at the World Cup this summer, his profile as high as it has ever been, before reporting to a new club for the first time since 2017. Not many players get to turn the page like that on their own terms. By most accounts, Robertson has.
