The news comes as little surprise with the Scotland captain joining a growing list of key players to have put pen to paper, which includes Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n<p>Now back from a short spell on the sidelines, Robertson will be hoping to regain his starting place against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/08\/24\/chelseas-ike-ugbo-to-join-genk\/\" target=\"_self\">Chelsea<\/a>, taking the place of Kostas Tsimikas, who has impressed many. Once back in, Robertson is unlikely to lose his place when considering the fullback partnership he has with Alexander-Arnold.<\/p>\n<h2>Andy Robertson Signs New Liverpool Deal<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud835\udc76\ud835\udc89, \ud835\udc68\ud835\udc8f\ud835\udc85\ud835\udc9a, \ud835\udc68\ud835\udc8f\ud835\udc85\ud835\udc9a&#8230; \ud83c\udfb6\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<p>Great news, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andrewrobertso5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@andrewrobertso5<\/a> has signed a new long-term deal with the Reds \ud83e\udd29 \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Liverpool FC (@LFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LFC\/status\/1430152220230684682?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>What Was Said?<\/h3>\n<p>After putting pen to paper on a new deal, Andy Robertson told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liverpoolfc.com\/news\/first-team\/441568-andy-robertson-signs-new-long-term-contract-with-liverpool-fc\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Liverpoolfc.com:<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously when the negotiations started and it looked as if my future was going to be here longer term than what it was, then I think it\u2019s no secret that I\u2019m happy at this club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to stay at this club for as long as possible and to extend my stay, it\u2019s always a happy time for me, for my family. We\u2019re settled here, we love everything about this football club and I\u2019m glad that the journey is continuing.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>\u201cWhen you sign for a massive club, I still remember the day as if it was yesterday when I signed here and obviously you have ambitions to become a regular player for Liverpool, to win trophies for this club, to do everything else but the way it\u2019s gone has been excellent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut since the very start of my career I\u2019ve always been one to look forward: that\u2019s in the past, that\u2019s something that I can sit down with the people who want to listen to me when I\u2019ve hung up my boots and retired and I can tell them all the stories that we\u2019ve already made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019m certainly one, and I know a lot of people in this training ground just now are people to look forward and people [who want] to create more history, more stories. Hopefully people get bored of me when I\u2019ve retired and I can sit down for hours and hours and tell them about all the stories!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re certainly building up but I want to make more and obviously hopefully starting with this season. We want to achieve more, we want to bring hopefully more trophies, more happiness to this club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way of doing that is by working hard and having the same application that we have done since day one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"CpL2fjgsQ_p5w5Eno-DiZg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1334662104\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'CpL2fjgsQ_p5w5Eno-DiZg',sig:'C06dpjj2-lObYFFnd55I90I51MhuU7eN2Z5mGWP3CLA=',w:'594px',h:'402px',items:'1334662104',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson has officially signed a new deal at the club until 2026.
