Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson would be a good signing for Leeds United in the January transfer window.

Much was expected of Andrew Robertson when he joined Liverpool from Hull City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by Sky Sports to be worth £10 million.

The 23-year-old defender played well during his time at Hull City, and having proved himself in the Premier League, he was expected to solve the left-back problem at Liverpool.

The Scotland international, though, is struggling for playing time at the Reds at the moment, having been able to make only two appearances in the Premier League so far this season.

Although Robertson is not giving up on playing regularly for Liverpool, as quoted by The Daily Record, Leeds United should make a move for him in the January transfer window.

What Leeds could do is offer the former Celtic youth team player a short-term loan deal until the end of the season.

The left-back is an area that the Whites are not looking comfortable in. Manchester United-owned Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has failed to make an impact, while Vurnon Anita and Stuart Dallas’s stints in that position have yielded mixed results.

Robertson is more than capable of being a success at left-back for Leeds, and it would make sense for the West Yorkshire outfit to sign him on loan in January, having also been linked with Liverpool striker Danny Ings, as reported by ESPN.
