Andy Robertson has signed a new long-term contract at Liverpool.<\/p>\n
It is understood the Scotland captain has committed his future to the club until the end of the 2023\/24 season.<\/p>\n
On the new deal, Robertson told Liverpoolfc.com: “As soon as the club came to me, it was a no-brainer for me \u2013 I want to stay here, so as soon as they put an offer on the table it was signed as quickly as that.<\/p>\n
“I hope to achieve success as a team over the course of this new deal.\u00a0This club demands trophies and too long has probably passed without trophies.”<\/p>\n
Left-back Robertson will be the latest in numerous contract extensions at Anfield this season.<\/p>\n
He joins Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Joe Gomez, who have all committed their futures to the club over the last six months.<\/p>\n
It could also see Liverpool’s current back four, who have been the meanest defence in the Premier League this season, play alongside each other in the long-term, with Robertson, Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold still in their early 20s.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, centre-back Virgil van Dijk, 27 is a senior figure in comparison.<\/p>\n
Robertson joined the Reds from Hull for a mere \u00a310million in July 2017 and is viewed by some Kopites as the club’s best left-back since fellow Scot Steve Nicol, who played the role temporarily in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n
Since joining Liverpool, Robertson was appointed captain of the Scottish national team in September 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
