Report
Liverpool has swooped for a talented youngster at a position they’ve
struggled for over 10 years; left fullback. They have signed Andrew Robertson
from now relegated Hull City for a fee of just £8
Million. Robertson’s arrival could make him the best left back signing since
ex-Liverpool player John Arne Riise back in 2001.
As a Dundee Untied player, Robertson was an unknown talent when he was
first scouted by Hull City. They snapped him up for a mere £3 Million and he
shone for them ever since.
Now, at the age of 23 and in his 3rd full Premier League
season, Robertson has become one of the rising stars and is on course to become
the greatest left back in the Premier League.

Robertson’s abilities
Robertson may not be one of the quickest players but he is a very skilled
left back in the Premier League. He has amazing technique to his game
complementing an accurate long range passing ability. Robertson could perhaps
be one of Liverpool’s surprise free kick takers this season due to his strong
left foot. His crossing ability may be utilized on set plays especially on
corners. Within 2 years, he may become the complete fullback Liverpool needed
all along.
Robertson: Hit or Miss
Let’s be honest, last season Liverpool had no player who could have been
called a natural left back. James Milner did a fantastic job at this position
last season and basically was Liverpool’s savior getting them out of tight
situations. Although, it would be better off if he continued as a central midfielder
this season. Second choice Alberto Moreno may not be in contention for the first
choice this season. So, if Robertson can step up his game this season, he can
be a key player for Liverpool this season.
In this overvalued market, getting Robertson for just £8 Million, Liverpool have pulled off an
absolute steal! The manager Jurgen Klopp has made one of his best defensive
signing for Liverpool. Choosing youth over experience, he shows that he trusts
Robertson’s abilities to guide the team this season.
Wishing him all the best for his career with Liverpool!!! 😀👌✌️
