Spurs had shown interest in acquiring the left-back in January, though both Liverpool and Robertson felt it would be preferable for him to complete the season at Anfield.However, with Tottenham maintaining their pursuit, the 32-year-old required little persuasion to join the North London club on a Bosman transfer once his deal expired."I'm excited to be here," Robertson said. But it's also exciting."It's perfect for this time in my career and that's why when the opportunity came up to join, I was excited to go for it and now that I'm here, I'm excited to keep progressing in my career and keep doing good things.

Hopefully I can do that in a Tottenham shirt."I don't think that it's a secret that it nearly happened in January and it didn't for one reason or another. I've played here plenty of times and I know that the supporters get right behind their team."It's a really big club and a club that's going places.

We know of each other — he knows me as a player, I know him as a manager and it was just more that we were excited to work with each other."He's well-known in world football for being a fantastic manager and the fact that he's here, hopefully I can do really good things under him. I think this is a club that's going places and it's the perfect time for me to be a part of it."Liverpool.com says: Robertson is a great signing for Spurs, who have done some great business this summer.
