Liverpool legend Andy Robertson is set to join Tottenham as a free agent after saying farewell to Anfield. 

Transfer insider Ben Jacobs has revealed on X that the Scotland captain is set to join Tottenham, with an agreement in principle already in place, a deal that was contingent on Spurs retaining their Premier League status, which they confirmed with a nervy 1-0 win over Everton on the final day.

Jacobs stated: “Andy Robertson set to join Spurs now their Premier League status is secure. Agreement in principle already in place.”

Andy Robertson set to join Tottenham

The deal has been a long time coming. Tottenham’s interest in Robertson stretches back to January, when the club, marred by injuries on the left side of defence, attempted to bring the 32-year-old to north London in the winter window.

Roberson ultimately decided to see out the season and depart as a free agent instead.

With his contract at Anfield having expired, Robertson departs Liverpool as a free agent after nine years and more than 370 appearances, one of the most decorated defenders in the club’s history, having won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup during his time on Merseyside.

How Spurs’ survival on the final day sealed the deal

The agreement in principle between Robertson and Tottenham always had one crucial condition attached: that Spurs avoided relegation.

For much of the run-in, that was far from guaranteed. Tottenham avoided relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the 2025-26 season after their 1-0 win over Everton condemned rivals West Ham to the Championship, with João Palhinha’s scrappy first-half goal proving the decisive moment.

Tottenham, which won three of its last five games under recently hired coach Roberto De Zerbi, will be in the top division for a 49th straight season.

That continuity in the Premier League is precisely what unlocked Robertson’s move, and Spurs now get the experience and leadership they have craved since the winter.

Spurs see Robertson as the ideal candidate to address a lack of elite-level experience and leadership within their current squad.

For De Zerbi, inheriting a player of Robertson’s calibre on a free transfer, a man who has operated at the very highest level for the best part of a decade, represents a significant coup as he looks to reshape a Tottenham side that came far too close to the drop for comfort.

Robertson joins a club with plenty to prove next season. Spurs will do so with one of the Premier League era’s finest left-backs now wearing their shirt.

Andy Robertson delivered an emotional farewell to Liverpool fans on the final day of the season, while also paying tribute to departing football figures Pep Guardiola and Seamus Coleman during a memorable night at Anfield.

The Scotland international is leaving Liverpool after nine years and 377 appearances following the expiry of his contract, bringing down the curtain on a hugely successful spell at the club.

The 31-year-old featured in Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Brentford on Sunday, a match that formed part of the Premier League’s final-day celebrations but also served as a personal goodbye for the long-serving left-back.

Andy Robertson reflects on Pep Guardiola’s dominance over Liverpool in Premier League race

In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Robertson highlighted two major figures also departing their clubs, with particular praise for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

“For me, there are two other people leaving clubs today that are pretty important,” Robertson said.

“Pep Guardiola pushed us to completely new limits, I think both of us would agree with that. He pushed us to completely new limits and we should have won more Premier Leagues if it wasn’t for that man. What a servant to Manchester City and I wish him all the best.”

Robertson’s comments underline the fierce but respectful rivalry between Liverpool and Guardiola’s Manchester City during one of the most competitive eras in Premier League history.

During Guardiola’s reign, Liverpool twice came agonisingly close to Premier League glory.

In the 2018–19 season, they amassed 97 points but still finished second, one point behind City.

Three years later in 2021–22, Liverpool again pushed City to the final day before narrowly missing out on the title.

Seamus Coleman also honoured in emotional Anfield farewell

Robertson also paid tribute to Everton captain Seamus Coleman, who is similarly stepping away from top-flight football after a long and respected career.

The Everton defender has been one of the Premier League’s most loyal servants, and Robertson acknowledged his contribution during the same emotional evening that marked multiple departures from English football.

Robertson leaves Liverpool with nine trophies after nine-year spell

Robertson leaves Anfield, along with Mohamed Salah, as one of Liverpool’s most successful modern-era stars, having won nine major trophies including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League.

While his legacy is firmly cemented at Liverpool, the era defined by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City often stood in the way of even greater success for Jürgen Klopp’s side.

Still, Robertson exits as a key figure in one of the most competitive and memorable periods in Premier League history.
