The 24-year-old defender signs a five-year deal with Liverpool<\/a> after superb performances for the Reds. Robertson joined from Hull City 18 months ago<\/a> for \u00a39 million and is now a usual starter for Klopp\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

Andy Robertson Signs New Liverpool Contract<\/h1>\n

Contract Extensions<\/h2>\n

Andrew Robertson<\/a> is the latest Liverpool player to commit his long-term future to the Reds. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson<\/a>, talented youngster Joe Gomez<\/a>,\u00a0as well as the deadly Liverpool trio consisting of Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Roberto Firmino<\/a> and Sadio Mane<\/a> all signed contract extensions in 2018 after a great season at the club.<\/p>\n

Alexander-Arnold’s Future<\/h2>\n

Next to be approached over a new contract is Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>. The academy graduate of Liverpool has proven how necessary he is for the team ever since his first match for the Reds. As a result of his fine form, he is even considered the world\u2019s most valuable full-back from a transfer value perspective by French organisation CIES.<\/p>\n

Title Run<\/h2>\n

Scottish left-back Andy Robertson has been very impressive for the Liverpool team and is a key part of Jurgen Klopp\u2019s plans. The Reds are currently sitting on top of the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

They are followed by 2017\/18 Champions Manchester City who are four points behind. The team playing at Anfield seems closer to the Prem Title than ever and Robertson, arguably the best left-back in the league, is one of the reasons why.<\/p>\n

Injury Crisis<\/h2>\n

The biggest worry for Klopp and the team so far are the many injured players. The latest in the ”injured” list is the young English defender Alexander-Arnold. The right-back suffered a knee injury against Brighton but still played 90 minutes for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Other unfit players are\u00a0Georginio Wijnaldum<\/a>, Adam Lallana<\/a>, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain<\/a>, Joe Gomez<\/a> and more. Another injured defender is Dejan Lovren<\/a>, pulling a hamstring injury just a few minutes after the start of Liverpool\u2019s FA Cup match against Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n

The third-round match at Molineux ended in a surprising defeat for the Reds.<\/p>\n
