Andy Robertson shirt number revealed as Tottenham rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi continues

Andy Robertson will wear the No3 shirt at Tottenham this season.

The left-back has signed for the north Londoners on a free transfer after his contract at Liverpool expired at the end of the last campaign.

The Scotland international has returned to training alongside his new team-mates after his country’s premature exit at this summer’s World Cup, as Steve Clarke’s men were knocked out in the group stage.

They suffered defeats by both Morocco and Brazil in Group C, while a 1-0 win over Haiti was not enough to see them through as a best-ranked third-place team.

As such, it means that Robertson has not been afforded the three-week break that other players competing in North America have been given.

He is now straight back into work at Hotspur Way, although his debut will come in the side’s pre-season tour of Australia.

The defender did not play in the opening victory against Milton Keynes, where fellow new recruit Mateus Fernandes scored a superb goal to get off the mark in his new colours following his £85million move from West Ham.

Robertson, 32, found his first-team minutes hard to come by at Liverpool under Arne Slot last term, especially after the arrival of Milos Kerkez, who was signed from Bournemouth.

The Scot played 24 times in the league last term, down from the 33 appearances he made in the title-winning campaign the season previously.

It was announced that he would leave thw Anfield club on a free transfer this summer, with Spurs already interested in his services having courted him in January earlier this year.
