Liverpool’s board is reportedly exploring options for a replacement for Andrew Robertson, whose recent performances under Arne Slot have fallen short compared to his influential role in previous seasons.
The Scottish defender, once pivotal to Liverpool’s success, has seen reduced game time, with Kostas Tsimikas now preferred.
The Greek international has thrived under Slot, earning the ‘Man of the Match’ award in the impressive 2-1 victory over Brighton and starting in seven league matches this season.
The Reds are now turning their attention to Fulham’s left-back, Antonee Robinson. The 27-year-old American, who joined Fulham from Wigan in 2020, has been a standout performer in the Premier League.
Liverpool is rumored to be preparing a deal involving Tsimikas plus cash to secure Robinson, who is currently valued at £40 million. This swap could potentially lower the overall fee.
Robinson has enjoyed a stellar season under Marco Silva, starting every Premier League game and helping Fulham reach seventh place before the November international break.
Known for his defensive solidity and offensive contributions, Robinson has already delivered three assists in 11 league appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Robertson has faced criticism from the football media, particularly after the transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.
Despite these challenges, Liverpool remains dominant, sitting first in the Premier League and Champions League with the best defensive record among Europe’s top five leagues—just six goals conceded in 11 matches.
Arne Slot reportedly aims to strengthen the left-back position with an experienced Premier League player. Robinson’s arrival would not only address this need but also provide long-term stability, given his consistent performances for Fulham.
Signing Robinson could mark a significant move for Liverpool, especially after missing out on defensive reinforcements during the summer transfer window. Below is a tweet from @TheAnfieldBuzz sharing the latest updates on Robinson’s potential move to Liverpool:
