Tottenham close in on Andy Robertson free transfer

Tottenham are in advanced talks to bring Liverpool left‑back Andy Robertson on a free transfer this summer. Robertson confirmed last week he will leave Anfield after nine seasons when his contract expires. Spurs have chased the 32‑year‑old since January, but Liverpool blocked the move then. Sources say negotiations are now nearing completion. Both clubs understand the move could reshape their summer strategies and squad planning.

Robertson, Scotland captain and Liverpool’s most‑capped left‑back, has been integral to the Reds’ recent successes, contributing assists and defensive stability. Tottenham, languishing 18th, view his experience as a boost to a back line that has conceded heavily. Any agreement hinges on Spurs maintaining their Premier League status; they sit two points behind safety with West Ham occupying 17th and could inspire a late surge.

Should the deal close, Robertson would join a Spurs side desperate for leadership on the flank, while Liverpool lose a veteran without receiving a fee. Fans of both clubs recognize the transfer could tip the balance in the relegation battle, giving Tottenham a rare opportunity to reinforce without cash outlay. The transfer window now holds their fate and define their legacy this season.
