'Legend' Robertson still best left-back at Liverpool - Adam

Former Liverpool and Scotland midfielder Charlie Adam reckons Andy Robertson is still the Reds' best left-back despite deciding to leave the club this summer.

Robertson announced last week he would be departing Anfield at the end of the season, bringing the curtain down on a nine-year Liverpool career in which he has won nine trophies, including the 2019 Champions League and two Premier League titles.

The Scotland captain, who is in advanced talks with Tottenham, has been restricted to just seven starts in the league this term following the arrival of Milos Kerkez last summer.

But Adam said: "I think you can put him up there as a legend of the football club.

"He's won every major honour, he's been there nine years, his performances over the years have been incredible.

"And for me, I still think he's the best left-back in the football club. He's been one of the great Liverpool left-backs over time.

"And he's had an unbelievable career from his rise from being released (by Celtic), to Queen's Park, to Dundee United, to Hull, to then going and playing for Liverpool for nine years. It's a special career that he's had.

"He's a really humble guy and understands where he's come from, and he deserves everything he gets."

Adam was clear in his verdict that the full-back is still capable of competing at the highest level.

"I think if you're any other club in the Premier League, maybe apart from two or three, you'd still be looking to sign Andy Robertson as one of the top left-backs in the league," said 40-year-old Adam, who is currently coaching in Burnley's academy.

"He's got that opportunity to pick where he wants to go. I don't think it's a done deal (with Tottenham), I think where Tottenham are in the league at the moment, it's going to be maybe a big decision on where he goes.

"But if he goes to Tottenham, it's still a big football club that obviously has underachieved this year and he'd be looking to try and come in and improve them."
