Tsimikas learning from 'very good guy' Robertson - and loving his 'Greek scouser' nickname

The defender hopes to challenge the Scotland international for a place in the Liverpool XI after playing in his side's first two matches of the season

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas says he is learning from Andy Robertson and says his fellow left-back has been helping him adjust to the team.

The Greece international joined the Reds from Olympiacos last year but was unable to break into the first-team in his maiden season.

The 25-year-old is looking to compete for a regular place in the starting XI this season and was trusted to play in Liverpool's first two Premier League matches while Robertson was absent because of an ankle ligament injury.
