Andy Robertson is being hailed as a “true leader” who could instantly elevate standards and bring a winning mentality to Tottenham.

Andy Robertson is closing in on a sensational move to Tottenham after agreeing to join Spurs on a free transfer this summer.

Despite interest from Juventus and attempts to hijack the deal, Fabrizio Romano reports that the Scotland captain is still expected to honour his agreement with the Lilywhites — a signing strongly backed by new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who had identified the Liverpool veteran as a priority target since January.

The reaction among Spurs supporters has been overwhelmingly positive, with many believing Robertson’s arrival could bring the leadership and winning mentality the club has been missing.

Speaking to Tottenham News, John Wenham described the defender as “exactly the experience Spurs desperately need,” adding that Robertson is “a real leader who will raise the levels” inside the dressing room.

Although Robertson is no longer a guaranteed starter at Liverpool under Arne Slot, following the emergence of Milos Kerkez, his experience at the highest level remains unquestionable. During his nine years at Anfield, the two-time Premier League winner lifted multiple major honours, including the Champions League, while making over 330 Premier League appearances and 66 in Europe’s elite competition.

For a Tottenham side that only narrowly avoided relegation by two points last season, his leadership could prove invaluable. Robertson is expected to demand higher standards from his teammates and help Roberto De Zerbi rebuild a more competitive and resilient squad.

The move is being viewed as a smart and low-risk signing by Spurs, but supporters know much more work will still be needed in the transfer market if the club are to challenge for European football again instead of another relegation battle.
