Andy Robertson started every league game for
Liverpool last season but Tsimikas gives Jürgen Klopp another option
By Ben McAleer for WhoScored
Liverpool have been rewarding their star players with new deals this summer. Andy Robertson is the most recent to have put pen to paper on a new contract, following in the footsteps of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Alisson and Virgil van Dijk as the club seeks to protect their prized assets.
While that means there is less money to spend in the transfer market, tying down the players who won the club the
Champions League and
Premier League is good business. These players are still crucial and they provide the ideal foundation upon which to build. Liverpool have a number of inexperienced players in the squad – notably Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Ibrahima Konaté, a new £36m arrival from RB Leipzig this summer – so keeping the experienced crop will only help their development.
