The former Arsenal star Paul Merson is convinced that Andrew Robertson is one of the best five signings done by Liverpool. Moreover, the Pundit was shocked that how Jurgen Klopp managed to sign this great player for only 8 million pounds.

Robertson has been a consistent presence in the Liverpool backline and he very rarely gets rag-rolled by opponents, while he is one of the best crossers in the game. He is very direct and makes a massive impact on both ends of the pitch

Merson on Robertson

Merson believes that Robertson is a player who could have been signed by any team in the Premier League. As while playing for Hull City, all the big clubs in England had an eye over the Scotsman.

After many young signings, Andy Robertson will still be a crucial player for the Reds. The Scotland international is not only a solid defender at the back but a sprinter in the final third too.
