Andy Robertson, the 32-year-old defender, has finalized his free transfer from Liverpool to Tottenham Hotspur, with his contract commencing on July 1. As he prepares to captain Scotland in the 2026 World Cup, where they will face Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil, Robertson expressed his enthusiasm for joining Tottenham in a video message to fans. However, he may face a challenge in wearing his beloved No.26 shirt, which he has sported throughout his time at Liverpool. This number has not been worn since the retirement of former Spurs captain Ledley King in 2012, making it a significant and somewhat sacred number at the club. If Robertson cannot wear No.26, he has several alternatives available, including numbers 2, 5, 6, 12, and 27. This transition marks a new chapter in his career after a successful tenure at Anfield.
