It has been eight years since Liverpool last started a season when Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson were not the undisputed first-choice full-backs.

But an untimely injury suffered by the Spaniard in December opened the door to the Scot and he did not look back.

Both Robertson and Alexander-Arnold cemented starting status under Jurgen Klopp as the campaign wore on - culminating with a first Champions League final appearance against Real Madrid in Kiev.



The Netherlands international, who will compete with Conor Bradley for starting status, became the club’s most expensive full-back in the process.

But less than a month later and that record has been broken again after Liverpool signed Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth in a £40m deal.

The Hungary international’s arrival will almost certainly lead to a left-back exit at Anfield, be that Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas.

But then Atletico’s interest in Robertson materialised.

It coincided with the publication of a recent interview with Tsimikas, where he admitted that while there was a temptation to pursue starting opportunities elsewhere, he is also content with his current role at Anfield.

But with Atletico Madrid now reportedly closing in on the signing of Matteo Ruggeri from Atalanta as their new left wing back, the tide could be about to turn again.

Consequently, the jury is still out on which left-back will leave Liverpool this summer.

But while Kerkez is expected to be first-choice, the 21-year-old has made it clear where he stands on the subject.

A big admirer of Robertson, the Hungarian wants the Scotland international to stay put.

“Obviously I watched a lot.

And [Andy] Robertson also I love a lot – I watched a lot of videos and games of him.

“I watched a lot of videos and he (Riise) was also a machine player.

And no-one at Liverpool will be complaining if he spends his first season at Anfield learning from one of his idols in Robertson.

But Robertson still has a difficult decision to make as he weighs up his future.
