Andy Robertson continues to show why Tottenham Hotspur moved to bring him to north London this summer, with the experienced full-back delivering another encouraging display on the international stage.
Tottenham Hotspur’s signing of Andy Robertson on a free transfer this summer was hailed by fans who believe the full-back’s experience will prove invaluable as Spurs look to improve on their dismal campaign last season.
While he is not expected to be an outright starter at left-back, with Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence both capable of filling that position, the Scotland international still provides strong competition despite being 32.
His longevity has been further highlighted by his involvement at the World Cup with Scotland, where he remains their first-choice left-back.
