Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in advanced discussions to secure the signing of Liverpool defender Andy Robertson on a free transfer this summer. The Scotland captain confirmed last week that he will depart Anfield after nine years when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Spurs have maintained a long-standing interest in the 32-year-old left-back, having attempted to acquire his services during the January transfer window. However, Liverpool were unwilling to facilitate a mid-season departure at that time. Sources indicate that while a final agreement has not yet been reached, negotiations between Tottenham and Robertson's representatives are progressing significantly.
"Tottenham remain committed to signing the Scotland captain and while sources insist a full agreement is yet to be reached, discussions are understood to be at an advanced stage."
A potential move is contingent on Tottenham retaining their Premier League status. The club currently sits 18th in the table, occupying a relegation spot and trailing 17th-placed West Ham United by two points with six matches remaining in the season.
The North London club views Robertson as a strategic addition to bring experience and leadership to their squad ahead of manager Roberto de Zerbi's first full campaign in charge. This pursuit comes amid a challenging period for Spurs, who recently suffered another setback with club captain Cristian Romero ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury sustained in Sunday's defeat to Sunderland. The injury also casts doubt on Romero's availability for Argentina's upcoming World Cup squad.
