AliousTottenham Hotspur have reportedly reached a “verbal agreement” to sign Andy Robertson this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Tottenham edge ahead of Celtic in Robertson race
Despite sitting in the Premier League relegation zone, Tottenham appear to have moved ahead of Celtic FC in the race for the Scottish left-back.
Celtic are among several clubs monitoring Robertson’s situation as he prepares to leave Liverpool FC on a free transfer in the coming months. However, recent developments suggest their chances of securing his signature are fading.
After confirming his decision to depart Liverpool following nine successful years, Robertson admitted the choice was emotional, highlighting the club’s importance to both him and his family. He also revealed he previously turned down opportunities to leave, underlining how difficult it has been to walk away.
While Celtic had explored a potential move and Robertson has often spoken fondly of the club, Tottenham now appear to be firmly in control of the situation.
Agreement hinges on Premier League survival
According to Romano, Tottenham’s agreement with Robertson is dependent on the club avoiding relegation this season.
Spurs are currently two points from safety but could climb out of the drop zone if they secure victory against Sunderland AFC in their game in hand.
Even at 32, Robertson would bring valuable experience to North London following a difficult campaign. His leadership and consistency could prove vital for new manager Roberto De Zerbi as he looks to rebuild the squad.
The Scotland captain has earned widespread praise throughout his time at Liverpool, with former Anfield defender Jose Enrique once describing him as “unbelievable.”
