Andy Robertson believes his transfer to Liverpool did little to excite supporters at the time as he approaches his three-year anniversary as a Reds player. Robertson arrived from relegated Hull City on July 21, 2017, as the Reds struck a deal with the Tigers to land the left-back for around £8million. The Scotland captain thinks his signing was an understated one from a fans’ perspective as they welcomed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah to the club that same summer for a combined fee of around £70million.
Andy Robertson said “Obviously the faith to sign me, first and foremost, from a relegated club, which probably I don’t think I got many Liverpool fans excited about my signing when people like Mo and Ox were getting signed at the same time, The manager saw something in me that he could develop into being a decent player and I’m glad he’s done that. It took me time, three or four months was tough, but my relationship with him was the same then as it is now. He still looks to improve me every day in training and he still looked to make be better back then as he does now. So my relationship with him is amazing and long may that continue because he’s improved my game, he’s improved me as a person and that’s what you look for in a manager. So I couldn’t ask for much better. I don’t think any of the lads could and hopefully he’s here for many more years to come.”
