Tottenham have already signed Andy Robertson and they are now working on several deals including Savinho and Marcos Senesi
James Maddison is delighted that Tottenham have signed Andy Robertson - and the club are now working on a deal for £50million-rated Manchester City star Savinho.
Tottenham confirmed the acquisition of Robertson on a free transfer on Friday, with Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi also expected to arrive to bolster the club's defence.
Scotland skipper Robertson came close to making the switch to Spurs back in January, however Liverpool were unable to recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan spell at Roma, forcing them to pull the plug on the deal.
Despite a change in the dugout at Spurs since then, new boss Roberto De Zerbi has sanctioned Robertson's arrival on 1st July, after the full-back opted to depart Anfield upon the expiry of his contract this month, having made 378 appearances for the Merseyside club.
Following the announcement on Friday, Maddison took to his Instagram story to reply to a video of Robertson and said "welcome Andrew" while also tagging the left-back with several heart-face emojis.

Scotland captain Robertson replied "James" with a white heart emoji on his own Instagram story.
As well as signing Senesi, Spurs are now are poised to continue their busy summer in the transfer market with a swoop for Manchester City winger Savinho.
Spurs head coach De Zerbi is overseeing a substantial spending drive to strengthen the squad, with the £50m-rated Brazilian ready to make the move to North London.
On the arrival of Robertson, De Zerbi said: "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.
"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.
"I can't wait to start working with him and seeing the positive impact he will have on everyone around him."
Robertson's immediate priority will be leading Scotland at this summer's World Cup, though he will inject some much-needed experience and leadership into the Tottenham dressing room once he officially links up with the squad in July.
"I'm in America just now preparing for the World Cup, but I just wanted to send you a quick message to say I cannot wait to play for you guys," Robertson said in a short video message from Scotland's World Cup camp. "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 next season."
Spurs needed a victory on the final day of the 2025-26 season at home to Everton to secure their Premier League status, but consecutive 17th-place finishes have prompted the club and their majority shareholders ENIC, headed by the Lewis family, to take decisive action.
A shortage of leaders within the squad, a desire to strengthen team culture and a determination to raise standards at the club's Hotspur Way training facility have all been identified as concerns, with Robertson's exemplary professionalism throughout nine years at Liverpool proving a crucial factor in his signing.
The dynamic full-back will offer competition at left-back to Destiny Udogie, who has been the undisputed first choice on the left side of the defence for each of the past three campaigns, despite being dogged by recurring injury issues.
Sporting director Johan Lange said: "We are delighted to welcome Andy to the club.
"First and foremost he is an outstanding left-back – one of the best of all time in the Premier League, and someone who will improve our squad.
"In addition, his quality, character and leadership have been evident throughout a career in which he has regularly competed for – and won – major honours.
"Andy's professionalism and commitment will also be invaluable to the development of our squad, and he shares our ambition and determination to bring success back to the club.
"We are excited for Andy's new chapter with us and look forward to having him here after the World Cup."
The 32-year-old Robertson began his career at Queen's Park in Scotland before a three-year spell at Hull attracted Liverpool's interest, where he secured two Premier League titles and lifted the Champions League trophy.
