Jurgen Klopp says he's proud of how far Andy Robertson has come at Liverpool after the Scotland captain claimed the record for the most assists of any Premier League defender.
The left-back put a ball on a plate for Mo Salah in his side's 3-1 Boxing Day win against Aston Villa, a game in which Scotland U21s international Ben Doak made his Reds debut. It was his 54th assist, seeing him reach the most assists of any defender since the reformation of the English top flight in 1992/93.
He didn't hit the ground running though when arriving from Hull City in 2017, and Klopp says a frank conversation on what had to improve set Robertson on the right Liverpool track. The German explained: "He is a great guy. I am not so much into stats, but what came first to my mind was the guy we bought from Hull. We knew he was an exceptional talent, but personality [and] character makes you the player you can be.
