Liverpool journalist Sean Bradbury has been praising Reds full-back Andy Robertson and the Merseyside club’s decision to sign him.
This comes after Bradbury recently made an appearance on the Liverpool Echo’s Blood Red Podcast to go over the latest news concerning the club.
On the topic of Robertson, who recently celebrated his three-year anniversary of becoming a Liverpool player, Bradbury shared his thoughts on the left-back and the transfer that brought him to Anfield.
Discussing a recent piece for the Liverpool Echo from Joe Rimmer which described the full-back as ‘the most satisfying signing made during the Klopp era’, Bradbury was in agreement as he continued to wax lyrical over Robertson.
He said: “In this piece, there’s a nice phrase from Joe where he says: ‘He’s certainly the most satisfying signing of the Klopp era,’ and I think that is undoubtedly true.
“He’s got heaps of talent. He was a bargain buy. He’s someone who’s had to work hard for it and develop and we saw that period of transition, I think, at the start of his Liverpool career where it did take a few months for him to get up to speed but as soon as he wrestled that first-team place and then made it his own he hasn’t looked back he’s an absolute key cog to what this team does.
“As well as on the pitch, he gets the ethos of the club and I think that’s part of where that satisfaction comes in when you sign someone, you develop them as a player and they go on to achieve the success that he has, but they’re also tuned in on a social level with what the club and the city stands for. I think that’s a huge bonus and obviously helps him in terms of his appeal with the fans. Everyone absolutely adores him.”
Is Andy Robertson the best Liverpool signing under Jurgen Klopp?
Yes
No
Robertson signed to the Merseyside club back in the 2017 summer transfer window from Hull City for a fee of £8.1 million.
Since then, the Scottish international, who is currently valued at £57.6 million according to Transfermarkt, has gone on to make a total of 125 appearances for the Reds in which he has managed to score four goals and provide 28 assists along the way (per Transfermarkt).
During his time at Anfield, as well as scoring goals and providing assists, the 26-year-old has won a Premier League title, a Champions League title, a FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
TIF Thoughts…
Taking into account the amount of appearances Robertson has made since he signed for Liverpool and the number of goals and assists he has provided for the team since then, it would be safe to say he has been a successful signing for the Merseyside club.
