Danny Rust and Dean Jones, in their exclusive report to Give Me Sport, have stated that Antonee Robinson has attracted the interest of Liverpool and they want to sign the USMNT left-back in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is looking for a left-back in the transfer market, and Fulham want to sell him for £40 million.
Liverpool want to sign Antonee Robinson from Fulham
Robinson is one of the most important players for the Cottagers and one of the best full-backs in the Premier League. He has performed at his best for Fulham since joining the club. Andrew Robertson has not performed at his best consistently in recent times at Liverpool. Hence, they want to sign a profile who can replace him. Robinson is definitely one of the best candidates to replace him.
Fulham’s best left-back boasts traits that could bolster Liverpool’s squad. His blistering pace—among the Premier League’s fastest—enables relentless overlaps, making him a perfect candidate for the Reds. Robinson’s offensive flair makes him better than most of the left-backs in the Premier League currently. He is also defensively strong enough, which can make him one of the best signings for Arne Slot.
Why will he be a good signing?
Robinson has conceded 32 goals and kept 4 clean sheets in 27 matches in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. That means when Robinson is on the pitch, his team conceded a goal every 74 minutes. Moreover, he’s made 2.65 tackles and 1.77 interceptions for every 90 minutes he was on the pitch. Robinson is also racking up about 3.00 clearances at the same time.
The Fulham left-back has assisted 10 goals in 27 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Looking into his passing aspect of the game, Robinson passes the ball roughly 47.69 times during a game with a pass completion rate of 80.56%. He also plays 1.31 key passes each game. Overall, Robinson’s xA (expected assists) output is 0.35 per 90 minutes.
The £40 million price tag is definitely within the reach of the Reds, and he can turn out to be a very good signing for them. However, they also face competition from rivals like Chelsea and Manchester City. It remains to be seen what happens finally in the summer transfer window.
