Klopp considers defender move as cover for Robertson

Andrew Robertson cemented his reputation as one of Europe’s prime attacking full-backs last season, contributing 11 assists and playing a pivotal role in Liverpool’s Champions League winning campaign.

The Scotland international’s understudy, Alberto Moreno, was released earlier this month upon the expiration of his contract and Klopp has been left short of quality back-up for one of his key players.

Sport claim Betis are determined to keep hold of the 22-year-old, who has previously been linked with both Arsenal and Manchester United, and will not consider any offers below his full release clause.

Moreno, in part due to Robertson’s durability, made just five appearances in all competitions last season but Klopp is still said to be considering spending a large portion of his summer budget on a player who is unlikely to be a first choice starter.
