As confirmed by BBC Sport, the 32-year-old will officially join Spurs on July 1 when his Liverpool contract expires, marking the end of one of the most decorated chapters in his club career and the beginning of a new challenge in North London.
Robertson had publicly announced earlier this summer that he would be leaving Liverpool, giving Tottenham the opportunity to move quickly and land a proven Premier League winner without spending a single penny in transfer fees — a significant piece of business for a club that finished the season fighting for survival.
The move did not come without history. Tottenham had actually attempted to bring Robertson to the club during the January transfer window, when Thomas Frank was still in the Spurs dugout.
A deal was agreed between the two clubs at the time, but Liverpool ultimately pulled out after failing to secure the return of Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma, leaving the transfer to collapse at the final stage.

Spurs eventually secured their Premier League status on the final day of the season under new head coach Roberto De Zerbi, who wasted little time in welcoming Robertson's arrival and making clear just how much the signing means to his project at the club.
"Andy is someone I've admired for a number of years and he will bring outstanding technical qualities, experience, leadership and mentality to our team," De Zerbi said.
"He is a proven winner at the highest level over a long period and is someone who can be a big player for us, both on and off the pitch."
Robertson's record at Liverpool speaks for itself. He joined the Merseyside club from Hull City in 2017 and went on to make 378 appearances, collecting two Premier League titles, the UEFA Champions League, two League Cups and the FA Cup along the way.
Few left-backs in Premier League history have accumulated a trophy haul of that magnitude, and it is precisely that winning mentality that Tottenham are looking to import as De Zerbi rebuilds his squad.
Tottenham sporting director Johan Lange was equally enthusiastic, emphasising Robertson's character as much as his footballing ability.
"His quality, character and leadership have been evident throughout a career in which he has regularly competed for — and won — major honours," Lange said.
"Andy's professionalism and commitment will also be invaluable to the development of our squad, and he shares our ambition and determination to bring success back to the club."
Beyond club football, Robertson remains one of the most important figures in Scottish football. The defender captains his national side and currently holds 92 international caps, with the upcoming summer World Cup set to be another major stage for him to demonstrate that his quality at the highest level remains very much intact.
For Tottenham, the signing of Andy Robertson on a free transfer represents exactly the kind of smart, experienced recruitment that De Zerbi will need as he attempts to restore the club to the upper reaches of the Premier League table.
