Liverpool defender Andy Robertson wants to follow his new five-year contract with the trophies after admitting that extending his stay at the club was obvious.
The Scottish captain took little time to agree on a new long-term agreement, just 18 months after his arrival for £ 8 million from Hull relegated.
And after following the example of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Joe Gomez, all of whom have signed new contracts in the last six months, Robertson now wants to bring silverware to Anfield, the Reds is currently leading the Premier League. four points and in the last 16 of the Champions League.
"I hope to succeed as a team during this new deal," he told liverpoolfc.com
"This club requires trophies and too much time has probably pbaded without trophies.
"So I hope to help win two more trophies in this club and go in that direction because the fans are asking for it and the club demands it, that's what we want to give.
"We have been close (we reached the finals of the Europa League and the League Cup in 2016 and the final of the Champions League last year), but we have to take this step and hope to win a winning medal, regardless of the competition.
"This is the main goal for us.
"As soon as the club came to see me, it was obvious to me – I want to stay here, so as soon as they put an offer on the table, it was signed as quickly as that.
"It was a pretty easy contract for me and I'm sure for the club too. We were both very quickly agreed, that's why it was done so quickly. "
Robertson slowly started his career in Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp giving the 24-year-old the time to adapt to a new way of working.
However, since he's established himself as a regular left-back in December 2017, the Scot is now one of the first names on the match sheet after a string of impressive performances.

"I'm always tired just looking at Robertson. He's doing 100-meter sprints every minute, it's absolutely amazing, "he said at his post-game press conference.
Robertson, however, feels that he has much more to give.

"It's improving every day and what you think are badets to try to improve.
"I have the impression of having done that. This season, I've had more pbades than last season, which is huge for me because I wanted to give more offense and make my last ball a little better.
"This season, I feel it's better, but it can still improve. As a defense, we have improved and of course, on defense, I feel that I have made progress in this area.
"I am also satisfied with this part of the game, I am improving more and more and hope that there is still a lot to do."
Klopp is delighted to have reached an agreement so quickly.
"I think of all the contract renewals I've been involved in, this one was done in record time," he said.
"He may be from Glasgow, but everything about him is Liverpool.
"It was fantastic to see him grow, develop and improve.
"Everyone knows his personality, on and off the pitch, but we may be guilty of sometimes neglecting his quality."
