"There are few better sidebacks in world football than Liverpool's Andy Robertson"

Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish congratulated Andy Robertson as one of the best left-backs in the world.

Robertson recently signed a new contract at Anfield to keep it in Merseyside until 2024.

The Scottish captain proved to be one of Jurgen Klopp's best transfers after his arrival from Hull for a relatively modest £ 8 million.

Although he had a slow start to Liverpool, his left-back is now one of the first on the list of players and Dalglish was extremely impressed by the 24-year-old, whose performances have helped the Reds to dominate the Premier League.

"The fact that Andy is where he was just seven years ago – when he was released by Celtic – has become a clbadic example for any young footballer that you should never give up and never stop believing, "he said.

"Indeed, for the young British players released every year by the big clubs, Andy is a model.

"He has shown what can be accomplished through hard work, perseverance and dedication.

"Its level of consistency has been reflected in this new agreement."

Robertson has provided seven badists so far this season, his badists having proved a thorn in the defense of the best teams.

And as Klopp's team gets closer to its first league title in nearly three decades, Dalglish believes Robertson has become the best back.

"It's a great support for Andy's abilities and what everyone in the club thinks of him, from coaches to players like Virgil van Dijk, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Mo Salah.

"I must admit that I am delighted to see him dedicate his future to Liverpool.

"For me, there is little, if any, better than him in his position."

Former Liverpool captain John Barnes was also happy to see the Reds secure Robertson's long-term future.

"Andy Robertson has been sensational this year," he told The Sport Review for the bookmaker comparison platform BonusCodeBets.co.uk.

"I never thought he was going to leave, but it's always good to tie the players.

"It's a fantastic news for him and for Liverpool. It's well deserved.
