Tottenham have agreed “everything” with Liverpool star Andy Robertson, according to Fabrizio Romano, with the left-back “set to join” the club this summer if they stay in the Premier League.
Fabrizio Romano shares the latest on Robertson and Senesi
The Lilywhites are in serious danger of relegation to the Championship, with just five games left to avoid that disastrous result.
There were positive signs to take from Saturday’s draw with Brighton, with Xavi Simons putting in a man of the match performance and producing his best moment in a Tottenham shirt to date.
Alan Smith impressed with ‘unstoppable’ star who was ‘Tottenham’s best player’ vs Brighton
It was his best game in a Tottenham shirt, but it wasn’t enough…
The club have begun making positive moves to add to their squad in the summer transfer window, with a deal agreed ‘on target’ for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi, who will become a free agent at the end of the season.
Speaking in his latest YouTube video, Romano revealed that Senesi’s deal still has some details to work out, but a move for Liverpool defender Robertson has progressed significantly.
“(Robertson) will join Tottenham if they stay in the Premier League. As far as I know, there is already an agreement for that between Robertson and Tottenham.”
No player will be officially signed until top-flight status is confirmed, Romano said, but it looks like Spurs have got their first two players of the summer lined up without spending a penny.
Where would Robertson rank among Tottenham’s highest paid players?

De Zerbi is confident that Spurs will remain waiting
De Zerbi has lamented his scorned Tottenham players and insisted they can win their last five Premier League games of the season.
Although the Spurs players fainted when they faced the Seagulls, the Italian said he was hopeful he would survive after getting the first point against his old team.
West Ham are a point clear of Tottenham in 17th place ahead of Monday’s trip to Crystal Palace, but De Zerbi is backing his side to win their remaining games against Wolves, Aston Villa, Leeds, Chelsea and Everton to avoid relegation for the first time since 1977.
“I was always thinking and believing in the quality of the players,” he emphasized.
“They played a good game, I think we can play better than today with high quality and calmness, especially when we have the ball, but at the moment we need this spirit, this attitude and this mentality.
“It’s not over, we have five more games, it’s difficult, we all know it’s a difficult moment, it’s a difficult situation, but we have five more games and 15 points.
“This team can win five games in a row, now it’s hard to hear my words, but if you look at the players and analyze the quality of the players, I think we can win five games in a row.
“I shouldn’t be arrogant because I’m not arrogant, especially now, but we have enough quality to fight and win games in a row.”
