Andy Robertson has hailed new Liverpool teammate Takumi Minamino.

The Japan international completed a move from RB Salzburg on Thursday.

And Robertson was impressed with the young attacker when the two sides meet in the Champions League this season.

"It was difficult to play against Salzburg full stop, but I thought he was their main man," Robertson told the Liverpool Echo. "He was the one, especially at Anfield, who caused us problems.

"When we went 3-0 up, he started to dictate the game. He started to run at us a wee bit and he got a goal and an assist.

"That might be why the gaffer started looking at him and thinking 'who is this player?'.

"In the two games we played against them, he was great. Other than that, I hadn't really seen him play.

"He will be a welcome addition for us and I'm sure he will be a fantastic player.

"We look forward to him coming over in January and I'm sure he'll add to the already high quality in this squad."
