Liverpool are looking to pip Manchester United to the signing of Fulham full back Antonee Robinson in January, according to the Sun.
Manchester United are looking for a reliable option to replace the injury-prone Luke Shaw at left back and their interest in the American international has been detailed by Alan Nixon in this morning’s newspaper. Liverpool reportedly see the ex-Everton academy graduate as a rival for Andy Robertson, especially as the former Wigan full back has shone against them for Marco Silva’s side.
Robinson has played more than 150 games for Fulham since moving to Craven Cottage from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2020 for £2m. The adventurous defender has established himself as one of the leading left-backs in the top flight and shone in yesterday’s home win over Newcastle United. The 27 year-old is a first-team regular at Fulham, providing two assists in a strong first month of the season, and will not want to give up regular football in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup, which will be staged in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Robinson only signed a new five-year deal last summer and Fulham will be looking for far more than the £30m to £35m fee quoted in the Sun and the Mail on Sunday today if a bidding war for his services develops.
NEVER going to happen!
If they watched his utterly inept performance on Saturday, no club is going to pay that kind of money for this HUGELY overrated player.
How the hell fid Fulhamish think he had a good game??? Beggars belief!
Okay, he can, on occasion, burst down the left and cause problems but, 9 times out of 10, his crosses are abysmal.
His defending is comical (and that’s being kind).
Two assists this season? That’s probably it. Period!
I agree, Robinson is vastly over rated. He has pace but his game awareness is sometimes lacking and definitely his crosses are hit or generally miss. The media have already sold him and planted the seed of possible unrest in his head. TK no doubt will oblige and sell him on the 31st Jan with no replacement bought, same as with Jay.
He definitely isnt over rated but there is a lack of left backs around which is good for us as it will drive his value higher.
Chelsea – Cucurella has only just established himself
Arsenal – No one nailed
Man City – No one nailed
Man United – Shaw and Malacia cant stay fit
Liverpool – Robertson getting on.
Robinsons stats are good and thats more important than the eye test that we all have at the weekend. I can see him going next summer for around the 35 mill mark which is really good profit for him considering what we bought him for….
Replacement though? Will be tough as it isnt Sess.
Sess would be a good example, starting every game, being respected by the fans then joining a bigger club, pretending to be good enough to nail a place in the first team, then underperforming and ending up in limbo for a couple of seasons until your contract runs out. Robinson would do best to stay put and keep enjoying life in London
