De Zerbi Edges Closer to First Tottenham Signing, but There's One Hold-Up

Roberto De Zerbi is edging closer to making his first signing at Tottenham Hotspur, with Andy Robertson, Liverpool's 32-year-old Scottish international, set to join the club at the end of the season.

Robertson has announced that he will leave Liverpool in the summer, with his contract expiring and the club deciding to release him without a fee.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham have secured a verbal agreement with Liverpool, and Robertson will join the club if they manage to secure safety in the Premier League. They are currently 18th in the table and fighting to avoid relegation.

Robertson will not join Tottenham if they are relegated in the summer. It seems that Robertson could be De Zerbi's first signing at Tottenham, with the club looking to strengthen their defensive unit.

Robertson's experience and leadership qualities could be a shrewd move, helping the club to improve defensively and on the pitch. Robertson wants to play more frequently at this stage of his career, and joining Tottenham could be ideal for him. He could replace Ben Davies next season.

Despite their struggles this season, Tottenham have a talented squad, and they should be competing for trophies. They have brought in a quality manager, and De Zerbi might be able to help them turn things around. It's no surprise that Robertson has chosen to join Tottenham.

He has been replaced by Milos Kerkez at Liverpool, and he will look to get his career back on track next season.
