Liverpool have targeted three players as potential successors to Andrew Robertson at left-back
Andrew Robertson, an underrated transfer
Some transfers shake up a team, often thanks to big-name players who wield great influence. However, sometimes less publicized players have just as significant an impact. This is precisely the case ofAndrew Robertson. The Scot is today a reference in his position and forms, alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold, an exceptional full-back duo. However, upon his arrival in Liverpool, the left back was not yet the star he became.
An explosion under Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool
After playing in Scotland for Queen's Park and Dundee United, Andrew Robertson quickly established himself in England with Hull City. It only took two seasons to attract the attention of Jürgen Kloppthe German coach of Liverpool. Robertson joined the Reds in July 2017 for around €9 million, a pittance in view of the performances he was going to achieve. His arrival was a breath of fresh air for Liverpool, seeing in him a tireless full-back who is difficult to pass. With a Champions League won in 2019 and a Premier League in 2020, Andrew Robertson has entered the hearts of supporters.
However, today, at age 30, the player is no longer as impactful as he was a few years ago. This season, Andrew Robertson remains an important member of the squad, but Liverpool are already looking for his long-term replacement. According to the Daily Express, Fulham's Antonee Robinson, Leipzig's David Raum and Ipswich Town's Leif Davis are the players targeted to succeed the left-back.
The end of a cycle for Andrew Robertson
Aged 30, Andrew Robertson remains a key piece in Arne Slot's plans. The Scot continues to play an important role within the collective, but Liverpool are already looking for his successor. After bringing so much happiness to the club, Robertson appears to be heading towards the end of his Anfield adventure.
Although he is under contract until 2026, no information regarding a possible extension has so far been mentioned by the media. The English club is now turning to players on whom it can build the future.
