Andy Robertson has reacted to Liverpool closing in on the signings of Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez as the Reds go big in the summer transfer window.

Robertson, 31, said to Sky Sports News: "I think at any big club you always have to keep moving, the club always moves forward and I think you've also seen other big clubs like Manchester City have been very active early doors in the window.

"I know we've only got Jeremie Frimpong through the door so far but it looks as though one or two others are going to be close from what we can see on Sky Sports News.



But just now we're at the top, we obviously won the league, and it's important that the club keeps improving and finding ways to do that.

The club have identified certain positions where they want to get new blood in, it looks like players we're linked to are all younger players and they are all exciting players as well.

"So when you play for a big club like Liverpool you expect challenges, you expect competition and I have always faced that, everyone here has faced that in their own positions and I expect nothing less.

"I want the club to be ambitious, they are doing that and wherever we fit into that, if we're happy with our role, we stay and we do it and if not then I am sure there will be a few out the door as well.

A deal is expected to cost in excess of £100million and will make the German the club's most expensive signing ever.

Robertson recalled facing Wirtz: "He was excellent against us (when Scotland played Germany at last summer's European Championship), I do remember that and I remember that game was extremely tough for us," acknowledging the midfielder's impact during the match.

"He was excellent, he was the one causing us problems, in the half-spaces, running in behind, so I haven't seen too much of him but I have played against him and that was enough for me to see he was going to be a top player.

"Obviously we (Liverpool) played Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League as well and we dominated that game a bit more (won 4-0) and made it difficult but certainly in the German team against us, he was excellent.

"We're certainly linked with him, that is for sure, you can't miss it and not see it.

And that suited us perfectly last season but now there is expectation.

"We were No.1 last season and our fans expect us to be No.1 again next season, as they do every season, and there will be a lot more expectation.

"So it is up to us to manage that, deal with that and I think we have the mentality in the squad to do that.
