  "textContent": "\n\n\nTottenham have reportedly reached a verbal agreement to bring Andy Robertson to north London on a free transfer this summer.\n\nThe deal is understood to be subject to Spurs remaining in the Premier League.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe Scotland international was set to make the switch in January, but Liverpool's inability to find a replacement scuppered the deal.\n\nRoberto De Zerbi, recently appointed as Spurs manager, supports pursuing the 32-year-old defender.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTottenham dropped into the relegation zone following West Ham's comprehensive 4-0 victory against Wolves on Friday evening.\n\nDe Zerbi faces his first match in charge when Spurs travel to Sunderland on Sunday.\n\nRobertson has spent much of this campaign playing a supporting role at Anfield, with Milos Kerkez established as the first-choice left-back.\n\nThe Scottish defender has featured 31 times this season, though the majority of those appearances have come from the bench.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nLiverpool confirmed recently that he will depart at the end of the campaign when his contract expires.\n\nHe will join Spurs on a free transfer, according to TalkSport.\n\nDespite his diminished role, Robertson remains the Premier League's all-time leading assist provider among defenders, having accumulated 60 assists throughout his career.\n\nHe surpassed Leighton Baines's record in 2022, achieving the milestone of 189 matches in 189 fewer matches than his predecessor.\n\n### LATEST SPORT NEWS\n\n\n\n\n  * Football match postponed after fire destroys stadium locker room as statement issued\n  * Chelsea star makes shocking admission on Man Utd exit after £40million transfer to rivals\n  * Spurs plunged into drop zone as ex-Arsenal man scores twice in West Ham's thrashing over Wolves\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSpurs have been severely hampered by injuries at left-back throughout this season, with both Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie missing significant portions of the campaign.\n\nThe club's form has been dire, with their last league victory coming in 2025 as part of a 12-match winless streak.\n\nThey currently sit two points behind West Ham in 17th, though they hold a game in hand over their London rivals.\n\nRobertson addressed the Tottenham speculation in March.\n\nHe said: \"There was obviously interest there - there were discussions had with both sets of clubs. But the decision was that I wanted to stay.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nManager Arne Slot acknowledged on Friday that Robertson is seeking more regular playing time.\n\nHe said: \"He had many great seasons over here as a player but I think people got to know him as a great person as well, I got to know him, every team-mate will tell you how funny he is and how great a person he is and that has been shown a lot on social media as well.\n\n\"What I remember most about him is the intensity he is always playing with. We have learned something about intensity two days ago, but I can [remember] Robbo making a press from left full-back to right-back a few years ago and I showed that to the players I was working with then.\n\n\"He has won everything here, really loves this club, it has been a great nine years at the club. But we saw this season he didn't play as much as he used to and as a result of that he is leaving.\n\n\"It is difficult to be in that position longer than a season. Every player wants as much regular first-team football as possible.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
