He's the one! Liverpool's perfect choice to replace Andy Robertson

Liverpool can't just rely on Milos Kerkez and while there are talented players in the academy no one is ready to come in and play a back-up role to replace Robertson behind the Hungarian.

The other massive loss when it comes to Robertson is his leadership.

On the pitch, he wasn't just a quality player. He was a vocal voice on the pitch, someone who was a huge character in the dressing room and played a key role in uniting everyone on and off the pitch.

His vocal and loud voice on the pitch set a precedence. If you went to Anfield, you could regularly hear Robertson's shouts even from the stands.

Liverpool need to replace that, too, as well as his quality.

And it looks like the Reds have found the perfect replacement.

According to a recent report, David Raum is a player who has won over Liverpool scouts while following Yan Diomande this season.

He's only 27-years-old, but he is already the captain of RB Leipzig.

That gives you an indication of the type of character he is. And when you watch him live, you can also observe similarities to Robertson in the way he carries himself on the pitch.

Raum is very vocal when playing for RB Leipzig.

He is constantly directing and encouraging his teammates and his voice echoes in the stands.

On top of that he is also an excellent chance creator and someone who loves to deliver crosses into the box, and who is very good at that side of the game.

Given the fact that Liverpool already have a very young player in Kerkez as their first-choice left-back, it makes sense for them to bring in a player like Raum, who is a bit more experienced.

It especially makes sense when you look at Raum's contract situation. He has one year left on his deal at Leipzig, and that means he should be available for a decent fee.
