Robertson spent nine years at Liverpool. He was initially set for a loan move to Tottenham in the winter, but Liverpool canceled the deal after failing to recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at AS Roma. Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi joined the club after the initial attempts to sign Robertson, but he approved the transfer.

“Andy is someone I have admired for several years, and he will bring excellent technical qualities, experience, leadership, and mentality to our squad. He has long-term experience at the highest level and is someone who can be an important player for us, both on and off the pitch,” De Zerbi was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

Robertson is now set to feature for Scotland at the World Cup.

“I’m currently in America preparing for the World Cup, but I just wanted to tell you all that I can’t wait to play for you,” he stated in a video message to Tottenham fans.
