Liverpool left back Andy Robertson has signed a new long-term deal with Jurgen Klopp's side after an impressive 18 months at Anfield since joining from Hull.
The 24-year-old has made 56 appearances for the Reds and has become a firm favourite with his lung-busting runs up and down the left side of the field.
After a slow start following his move from Hull, Robertson became a vital part of the Liverpool side that made last season's Champions League final, and has started 20 of 22 Premier League games this season for the league leaders.
“As soon as the club came to me, it was a no-brainer for me – I want to stay here, so as soon as they put an offer on the table it was signed as quickly as that,” Robertson told the club's website.
“It was a pretty easy contract for me and I’m sure for the club as well. We both agreed very quickly, that’s why it’s been done so quickly.
“Getting to know the lads and working with all the staff at Melwood has been a pleasure. The best thing about work is when you love coming in every day – and that’s what I do here. I am glad I have extended my stay and hopefully we have a lot of good days ahead.”
Robertson aiming for trophies
The Scotland captain, who has joined Sadio Mane, Mo Salah, Joe Gomez, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson in signing long-term contract extensions in the last year, hopes to start winning major trophies during the course of his new contract.
“I hope to achieve success as a team over the course of this new deal,” he said. “This club demands trophies and too long has probably passed without trophies.
“So I hope to help bring another couple of trophies to this club and help push in that direction because the fans demand it and the club demands it, so that’s what we aim to give.
“We came close, of course we have with the Champions League and things like that, but it’s about taking that next step and hopefully getting a winner’s medal around your neck, whatever competition it is. That is the main aim for us.”
