Jamie Redknapp is very impressed by one Liverpool star.
Writing in The Daily Mail, Jamie Redknapp has claimed that Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson would make his Team of the Season.
The Scot joined Liverpool in an £8 million deal from relegated Hull City in July for what Redknapp claims represents the best bargain of last summer’s transfer window.
Mo Salah has been grabbing most of the headlines for Jurgen Klopp’s season, but Robertson’s contribution hasn’t gone unnoticed by fans of the Anfield club, many of whom love the 24-year-old.
Given the problems that Liverpool have had at left-back in recent seasons – most notably Alberto Moreno – it is refreshing for the fans to see a reliable figure who is brilliant in defence and attack.
Robertson also set up Salah’s late winner in Saturday’s 2-1 win at Crystal Palace, and Redknapp is hugely impressed by him.
He wrote in The Daily Mail: “Voting for team of the season is upon us and I enjoyed reading Peter Crouch’s selections in his Sportsmail column.
“Left back is one of the more difficult positions to fill. Crouchy went for Ashley Young, who has forced his way back into the England team, but I would have gone for Liverpool’s Andy Robertson.
“He was relegated with Hull last season, and that can leave a mental scar, but he has thrived at a big club. Defensively tough, Robertson is also dangerous going forwards and he made Liverpool’s winning goal at Palace.
“When you think Manchester City spent £133million on full backs last summer, at £8m Robertson is the bargain of the season.”
