Charlie Adam: Andy Robertson is the best left-back in Europe right now

Former Reds midfielder Charlie Adam believes fellow Scot Andy Robertson is currently the top left-back in Europe.

Liverpool’s No. 26 arrived from Hull City for £8million in 2017, and has gone on to become a firm favourite among fans at Anfield.

And Adam, who joined Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish and registered 37 appearances, thinks there is no better player in Robertson’s position right now in the Premier League and Champions League.

“If Liverpool won the league, he’d be a cult hero,” Adam said, according to Squawka. “The players love him, the fans love him – Liverpool have always had a tradition of Scottish players and the one thing they always love about them is how hard they work.

“We have the most endeavour, we want to win, we have a passion and they’ve related to him in that way.

“But don’t forget he’s also a quality player. His assists, the link-up play he has with [Sadio] Mane is fantastic.

“Although it took him three or four months to get the opportunity, he hasn’t been out of the team since. Jurgen [Klopp] had him on the sidelines, but he did well in training, got his chance and has never looked back.

“He’s been the best left-back in the league, probably the best left-back in the Champions League as well. He’s proof that it’s not where you start your career that matters, it’s where you finish.

“No disrespect to Queen’s Park but Andy knows where the low point is, part-time, working on match-days at Hampden – to get to where he is now is incredible.

“I said to Stoke at the time we should have bought him for £8 million – it was cheap.

“Liverpool could afford to throw that at him though, and if it hadn’t worked it wouldn’t have been a gamble for them. What’s that £8m worth now? Put a five in front of it at least – it’s probably £60m, £70m, for a left-back.”
