Klopp backs Liverpool FC new boy to ‘get even better’

Jurgen Klopp believes that Liverpool new boy Andy Robertson can ‘get even better’.

Robertson secured a £10 million switch from Hull City on Friday to become Anfield’s third signing of the summer after Mohamed Salah and Dominic Solanke.

The Scotland international will wear the Reds’ no.26 shirt and will provide much-needed competition for Klopp’s squad in the troublesome left-back role.

And the Liverpool manager is adamant that Robertson can scale greater heights as he paid tribute to the 23-year-old’s meteoric rise to prominence.

“For Andrew this is another big step on what has been a quite incredible personal journey in a very short space of time,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I love his story; where he has come from professionally to reach this point.

 

“When you speak to him it is clear why he makes his progress. He has a burning love for playing football – he really loves the game.

“His attitude is outstanding – absolutely outstanding. His talent and skills – also very, very good.

“He has experience of this competition, the Premier League, and he has the mentality and quality to get even better.

“I know our environment will benefit him and help him push himself even more than he has already. This is a player who does not limit his ambition, I think.”
