Tottenham Hotspur are edging toward a free‑transfer signing of Scotland captain Andy Robertson, sources told ESPN. The 32‑year‑old left Liverpool after a nine‑year spell, his final appearance coming against Brentford last Sunday. Juventus have shown late interest, but the Italian giants have not submitted a formal bid, and Spurs remain confident the deal will materialise, marking the first acquisition for new manager Roberto de Zerbi.

Robertson arrives with 92 caps, two Premier League titles and a Champions League winner’s medal, offering both experience and leadership. Tottenham’s hierarchy, outlined in Peter Charrington’s open letter, pledged an aggressive rebuild, promising investment across multiple windows. Adding a proven defender aligns with the club’s aim to restore its competitive edge and shore up a back line that struggled last season.

Spurs attempted the same deal in January but Liverpool rejected the offer, citing insufficient defensive cover. Securing Robertson now would give de Zerbi a seasoned figure to anchor a transition squad while the club pursues further signings. With the free‑transfer window open, Tottenham appears set to complete its first major move under the new regime.
