A number of Liverpool supporters are delighted after James Pearce claimed that Andy Robertson will sign a new Reds deal in the near future.

Jurgen Klopp's men have got their season off to a perfect start, winning their opening two Premier League games and not conceding a goal.

Liverpool have done it without the influential Robertson, too, with the Scot still recovering from an ankle injury picked up at the end of pre-season.

Kostas Tsimikas has performed admirably in the absence of the Scot, filling in impressively at left-back and proving that there is depth in that area.

Robertson remains the undisputed first-choice in that position, though, and Liverpool will be keen to tie him down to a new contract, having done so with several other key players in recent weeks.

According to The Athletic journalist Pearce on The Red Agenda podcast [via LFC Transfer Room on Twitter], the defender's new deal should be sorted imminently.
