Hull City value Andrew Robertson at £15m and Liverpool are considering a bid – but he is even good enough?
Liverpool continue their hunt for a new left-back this summer and it seems as if their search has led them to the doors of Hull City.
According to the Sun, the Reds are considering a bid for Andrew Robertson, with the Tigers valuing the 23-year-old at around £15m.

Alberto Moreno is set to leave Anfield after being deemed not good enough by manager Juergen Klopp; a decision which saw James Milner played out of position on the left side of defence for much of 2016/17.
That is why signing a full-back to replace him has become a priority for Klopp, but the German has been left frustrated with Ryan Sessegnon choosing to stay at Fulham and Monaco’s Benjamin Mendy set to join Manchester City.
This is what has drawn the Merseysiders to Robertson, but in truth is the Scotland international really much of an improvement on Moreno?
The former Dundee United man was admittedly one of the better players for Hull last term, but he was still part of a relegated team and a defence that conceded 80 Premier League goals – the most in the division.
Liverpool are preparing for life back in the Champions League and with Klopp at the helm there is genuine hope of a title challenge as well – so while Robertson is a competent top flight player, is he really the sort of defender a club with European ambitions should be targeting?
