Liverpool Transfer News: Latest Andy Robertson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain Rumours

Liverpool are reportedly edging closer to bolstering their defensive line by bringing in Hull City left-back Andrew Robertson when the transfer window opens in the summer.

According to Mike Keegan of Daily Mail, the Reds are set to part with £8 million to secure the services of Robertson, who's impressed with the Tigers in the Premier League this season.

The 23-year-old has been a mainstay of the Hull City back line since joining from Dundee United in 2014, but the 2016-17 campaign has seen him come of age.

Robertson has proved a threat going forward as well as solid at the back and has always found space to be an outlet on his left flank.

He's even chipped in with a couple of goals to help Hull's quest of staying in the top flight, with his recent strike against West Ham United the pick of the bunch.

Having won the ball back himself, Robertson embarked on a marauding run upfield before finishing off a flowing move to set his side up for an important three points:

Robertson isn't quite the finished article, but with the right coaching at Anfield, he could develop into a regular in the Liverpool team.

James Milner has done a fantastic job of deputising at left-back in place of the unreliable Alberto Moreno, but the Englishman is at his best when deployed in a midfield role.

Keegan wrote that Jurgen Klopp is also interested in landing Real Betis left-back Riza Durmisi.

Further up the pitch, Liverpool target Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has revealed that he'd like to stay at Arsenal.

The England international told Complex he wants to keep winning with Arsenal and use his domestic success to stay in the England frame ahead of next year's World Cup (via Tom Olver of Metro):

"

My personal ambitions are always to play as well as I can and be as professional as I can for Arsenal and obviously stay in and around the England squad as well. For me as an attacker it’s scoring and creating goals and helping the team to win, so I’ll just be focused on doing that as well as I can for my club.

"

James Ducker of the Telegraph previously reported Liverpool were confident of landing Oxlade-Chamberlain and not put off by his hefty price tag.

The Reds are sitting pretty in third place in the Premier League with five winnable fixtures remaining to round off their season, starting with Crystal Palace's visit to Anfield on Sunday.
