Tottenham Hotspur-owned Newcastle United defender Danny Rose has raved about Liverpool star Andy Robertson on The Lockdown Tactics.

Rose, who joined Newcastle on loan from Premier League rivals Tottenham in the January transfer window, has been impressed with Robertson’s energy and commitment.

The England international left-back has added that he did not notice the Scotland international left-back while he was at Hull City.

The 29-year-old has stated that Robertson has been the best left-back in the Premier League for the past two seasons.

Rose said about Robertson on The Lockdown Tactics, as transcribed by The Glasgow Evening Times: “Andy Robertson looks like a freak of nature. I watch him play football and in every game he gives the same commitment. 

“His consistency levels are extremely high. He is just brilliant. We played Hull four or five years ago at White Hart Lane and Robertson was playing for Hull, as was Harry Maguire. 

“I wouldn’t have noticed Robertson at that time, if I’m being honest, but he then moved to Liverpool and he has been the best left-back for them.

“He’s been the best left-back in England and, maybe, Europe for the past two years. For me, now, he is the one I’m looking to catch, without a doubt. He is the best.”

Liverpool star

Robertson joined Liverpool from Hull City in the summer of 2017 for an initial transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £8 million.

The Scotland international left-back has progressed well during his time at Anfield, and he is now one of the best players in his position in Europe.

The 26-year-old was an important figure in Liverpool winning the Champions League last season, and he has played his role in helping the Reds go on the verge of clinching the Premier League title this campaign.
