Liverpool to sign Hull City defender

Hull City defender Andrew Robertson has reportedly agreed to link up with Liverpool when the transfer window reopens in the summer.

The Scotland international has been a consistent performer for the Tigers in recent seasons, and he is now prepared to make a step up with a move to Anfield.

According to The Mirror, terms have been agreed between the clubs involved as well as the player, and an £8m deal will go through during the summer transfer window.

Jurgen Klopp has been keen on bringing a specialist on the left side of the defence, and Robertson would be a welcome addition, with the Reds having to utilise the services of James Milner in a makeshift role.

Robertson, who joined the Tigers from Dundee United in the summer of 2014, had also been linked with a move to Newcastle United with his contract due to expire in 12 months' time.

Hull City bowed out of the Premier League earlier this afternoon after they were thrashed by Crystal Palace by a 4-0 scoreline at Selhurst Park.
