Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has put pen to paper on a new five year deal with the club.
Robertson signed for Liverpool from Hull City in July 2017 for a fee of £8 million, following the Humberside club’s relegation to the Championship, rescuing from a potential move to Stoke City. His initial spell at Anfield was a frustrating one as he found himself understudy first to Alberto Moreno, and subsequently to stand-in left-back James Milner.
However, since breaking into the first-team he has gone on from strength to strength, which is why the club are ready to offer him a new deal which will keep the 24-year old on Merseyside until the summer of 2024, reports Reuters.
His form has also been recognised at international level as well. Not only has he gained 28 full international caps for his country, but, in September 2018 he was appointed as Scotland’s full-time captain by manager Alex McLeish.
Andy is an exiled English football fan living in Cyprus. He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
