“Especially for the price, this one could really come back to haunt Liverpool.
“I considered the likes of Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum [when ranking my top Liverpool signings under Jurgen Klopp], but Robertson gets the nod due to his consistency and for the fact that he turned out to be a massive bargain.”
Merson was speaking after he ranked his top five Liverpool signings under Klopp with Robertson, Mane, Mohamed Salah, Alisson and Virgin van Dijk all featuring.

He will no doubt go down in folklore as a Reds legend but Merson couldn’t believe the club allowed him to depart.
