Andy Robertson is ready for a new five-year contract in Liverpool

Andy Robertson puts pen to paper on a new five-year contract in Liverpool.

Scottish captain Robertson is expected to sign an extension at Anfield which will keep him in Merseyside until 2024.

The 24-year-old has been playing for the Reds since his arrival in 2017.

Jurgen Klopp spent £ 8 million to land Robertson from Hull City after their relegation, while the Scottish seemed about to settle in Stoke City.

And Robertson has justified his signing since, being undoubtedly the best book-to-book signing of the Klopp regime by becoming the best left-back in the Premier League.

Robertson had to wait for his time before entering the first team, making only three starts before November in his first campaign.

But he has been extremely impressive since, playing a key role in the race from last season until the Champions League final and resplendent once again, while Liverpool won the title for Manchester City.

The Reds leaders had been keen to reward Robertson with improved conditions after his rise.

And he will join other stars of the first team, Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Joe Gomez, to sign new deals in the last 12 months.

Robertson, who was still two and a half years ahead of his current contract, has made 26 appearances in all competitions so far this season.

If he plays against Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon, it will be his 100th Premier League appearance.
