Liverpool are yet to tie him down to a new long-term deal, but former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson believes that the extension is only a matter of time. The former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper has reportedly heard that the defender will sign a new deal with Liverpool.

“So to have them as a pair next season would be a very good option for me.”
