Liverpool have confirmed the signing of Scottish international left
back Andrew Robertson for an initial fee of £8m rising to £10m.
The 23 year old joins from Championship side Hull City.
He was ever present for the Tigers last season in their season back in
the premiership making 39 appearances where they suffered relegation
after one season. In total he made 115 appearances in three seasons at
Hull City.
Speaking of his move to Anfield, a clearly excited Robertson said
"It feels a bit surreal but I'm delighted. There are not more special
clubs than Liverpool,"
He concluded: "When you grow up as a kid you dream of playing with big
clubs such as Liverpool and to make that a reality is a dream come
true for me.
"I just want to prove to people that I can do it at this level, and
hopefully I manage to do that this season and do good things for this
club."
He becomes Liverpool's third signing of the summer after the arrivals
of Dominic Solanke and Mohammed Salah.
Jurgen Klopp added thus after the club's latest signing
"For Andrew, this is another big step on what has been a quite
incredible personal journey in a very short space of time.
"I know our environment will benefit him and help him push himself
even more than he has already. This is a player who does not limit his
ambition."
Liverpool featured midfielder James Milner at left back last season
ahead of the natural left back Alberto Moreno. The Spanish left back
is now expected to leave the club following Robertson's arrival.
