What happened: Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Tottenham Hotspur are set to sign Liverpool defender Andy Robertson, with Spurs said to have reached a verbal agreement. The Scotland left-back would leave Liverpool for north London if the deal is completed.

Why it matters: The move would hand manager De Zerbi an experienced, Premier League-tested left-back as Tottenham reshape their defense. It also advances a transfer saga that saw Juventus reportedly attempt to hijack the move earlier this week.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation from both clubs, the structure of the transfer, and a medical before the signing is finalized.
