“I know definitely some of the fans will be heart broken, seeing Salah and Robertson leave in a single transfer window is not reasonable especially Mo Salah, his legacy and consistence will always remain at the top.. not only Liverpool is going to lose Mo Salah but the premier league as well too”
— Robertson is one the best LB with the most assist in the premier league for the past decade, he’s such an incredible defender, wishing both of them GOOD LUCK.
