Liverpool close to completing £8million deal for Hull left-back Andy Robertson
Jurgen Klopp has been desperate for a left-back having used James Milner there last season
LIVERPOOL are signing Scotland left back Andy Robertson from Hull City in a bargain £8million deal.
Jurgen Klopp moved quickly for Robertson as he looks to fill a hole in his squad.
The Hull defender, 23, will leap at the move and should complete the deal over the weekend after agreeing terms.
The left-back was close to signing for Burnley last month but they stalled over the way the fee was to be paid and left the door open for Liverpool.
Now Klopp has decided to go for Robertson with the left-back spot a problem position for the German boss since he arrived at Anfield.
The Reds have been linked to the Scotland international all summer.
Spaniard Alberto Moreno has struggled defensively and has been susceptible to catastrophic mistakes.
Veteran midfielder James Milner was in the role for much of last season.
