Andrew Robertson

Despite being just 23 years old, Andrew Robertson has already played 200 games at club level and over the past three seasons he’s been a stellar part of Hull City’s first team.

Much like Bertrand, Robertson is criminally underrated and with the Tigers having been relegated the Scottish international thoroughly deserves to stay in the Premier League.

He’s pacey with a great crossing ability, something which would make him perfect for the Saints and with a value of around £15 million he’s a realistic acquisition for Southampton.

He scored once and assisted twice last season in the league whilst also averaging nearly 40 successful passes per game, off of a 76-percent average. He should be the Saints’ first choice to replace Bertrand.
