Redknapp Names His Premier League Bargain Of The Season, And It's Not Salah

Redknapp Names His Premier League Bargain Of The Season, And It's Not Salah

It's not 'The Egyptian King'.

Jamie Redknapp has named his Premier League bargain of the season, and while it's not Mohamed Salah, it is a Liverpool player.

The Egyptian returned to England's top flight from AS Roma for an initial £36 million, and he's since become an Anfield King.

He's the leading scorer in the league with an incredible 29 goals to his name.

Despite his on-field heroics, Redknapp reckons another Liverpool star has pipped him to the tag of the bargain of the season.

Enter: Andrew Robertson.

The Scottish left-back signed a long-term deal at Anfield for just £8 million, and he's vindicated Jurgen Klopp's decision to snap him up from relegated Hull City.

Robertson has performed wonders from the flanks, and the ex-Liverpool midfielder-turned pundit rates him very highly.

"Left back is one of the more difficult positions to fill [in a Premier League team of the season] but I would have gone for Liverpool's Andy Robertson," he said.

Redknapp added: "He was relegated with Hull last season, and that can leave a mental scar, but he has thrived at a big club.

"Defensively tough, Robertson is also dangerous going forwards and he made Liverpool's winning goal at Palace. When you think Manchester City spent £133million on full backs last summer, at £8m Robertson is the bargain of the season."
