Liverpool defender Andy Robertson is close to signing a new five-year deal with the club.
The Scot, who joined the Reds from Hull City in the summer of 2017, is set to be rewarded for his remarkable progress over the past 18 months with improved terms.
After a slow start to his Anfield career that saw him initially behind Alberto Moreno in the left-back pecking order, Robertson has established himself as a key figure in Jurgen Klopp's back four.
The 24-year-old has played all but two Premier League games this season as Liverpool have carved out a four-point lead at the summit thanks to a defensive record that has seen them concede just 10 times in 22 fixtures.
The former Queen's Park, Dundee United and Hull full-back also recently saw his efforts at club level recognised by Scotland boss Alex McLeish.
Robertson was named his country's full-time captain, and took the armband for the first time in a friendly meeting with Belgium in September.
The Glasgow-born full-back joins Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino in having recently signed a long-term contract extension at Anfield.
