From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything”.Andy Robertson has joined Tottenham(Image: Getty Images)Meanwhile, left-back Robertson's new club has already been confirmed, after he signed a contract at Tottenham last week."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," said Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi."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, meanwhile, sent a message to Tottenham's fans from Scotland's World Cup camp.“Hi Tottenham fans...

I’m in America just now preparing for the World Cup," Robertson said. "But I just wanted to send you a quick message to say I cannot wait to play for you guys.“I cannot wait to meet you guys, I cannot wait to play in the stadium for the first time in front of you and I’m already looking forward to next season.

All the best and I will see you soon.”
