'I thought I'd done a deal!' - David Moyes reveals how he missed out on signing Andy Robertson before Liverpool signed left-back from Hull in 2017

<p>While Moyes was managing Sunderland in the 2016-17 Premier League season, the Scot wanted to sign Hull City defender Robertson. The Black Cats and the Tigers were relegated from the top-flight that season and the defender ended up joining Liverpool instead. But the former Manchester United manager said they gave it a good go in trying to recruit the then 24-year-old.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=980VqCfXpnU" target="_blank">The Overlap's 'Stick to Football' podcast</a>: "Andy Robertson, if you remember, left Scotland, Queen's Park, to go to Hull City. I actually thought I'd done a deal to get him to come to Sunderland. I was the manager at Sunderland at the time, and I met his agents and tried to sort out a deal to get him to come from Hull to Sunderland, but at the time, Hull and Sunderland were both near the bottom of the league and in competition, so we didn't get him. But there's a million hard luck stories in football."</p>

WHAT DAVID MOYES SAID

<p>Robertson joined Liverpool for a fee worth up to £10 million ($12.9m) and since then he has gone on to become a club legend, helping them to Premier League and Champions League glory along the way. He is up there with some of the best bargain buys of the Premier League era.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Robertson, who has scored 11 goals in 311 appearances for the Reds over the past seven and a bit years, could feature for Arne Slot's team on Saturday night when they host Aston Villa in the Premier League.</p>
