Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes Andy Robertson can "bring a lot" to Roberto de Zerbi's dressing room this season, despite not being "the player that signed for Liverpool all those years ago".
The 32-year-old left-back announced his Anfield departure in April before joining Tottenham on a free transfer in June.
"He is going to get that whole new responsibility and freshness at Tottenham," Hart said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "Liverpool made their decision early and it felt like it was always Tottenham for him.
"It was a case of: 'Stay up and I'm coming to Spurs'.
"He will have a different responsibility though. Roberto de Zerbi will know how to use him because he isn't the Andy Robertson that signed for Liverpool all those years ago.
"What they do have is a top player and a top professional in the building. They have a player that wants to be there, especially because I think he would've had a few options.
"He will be an absolute leader in that dressing room, alongside still being a very good player, so I do think he can bring a lot.
"It has been the summer for the Premier League kind of coming back to those senior signings, so I think it is really smart business."
