Liverpool is set to beef up its back line with Premier League experience.

Hull City’s Andrew Robertson is expected to join Liverpool following a medical on Thursday, a move which will cost the Reds between $10 million and $13 million depending on incentives.

Forty-eight of his 55 PL appearances have come at left back.

Robertson, 23, played more minutes than any Hull player aside from midfielder Sam Clucas as the Tigers were relegated to the Premier League.

Robertson has 15 caps and a goal for Scotland. He’ll provide a better option on the left than Alberto Moreno and should quickly plug into Jurgen Klopp‘s XI.
