Liverpool could sign Antonee Robinson from Fulham in January
Liverpool Could reportedly sign Fulham defender Antonee Robinson in January, according to Soccer insider information.
It is always difficult to seal a big deal in the winter window, as not many clubs want to lose their key players mid-season. The Reds did not make many new signings last summer and it has been reported that they have funds available to do business in January.
The Merseyside club is currently at the top of the table. first division table with 42 points from 17 games and are on course to challenge on all fronts this campaign. Therefore, adding depth in some areas would definitely help Arne Slot maintain the title march in the second half of this season.
Now, Football Insider claim that Liverpool want to sign a new left-back and Robinson is on their radar. They have been monitoring the defender closely and it is a “realistic possibility” for them to secure his service mid-season.
Slot's team will have to spend at least £40m to sign him and the player is keen to take the next step in his career in January or at the end of this season. Thus, Fulham would find it difficult to retain him, although he still has a contract until 2028.
Robinson to Liverpool
The 28-year-old has been in excellent form so far this season, providing six assists and keeping three clean sheets in 18 league appearances. He is an offensive-minded player and has the attributes necessary to flourish at the elite level.
Andy Robertson and Konstantinos Tsimikas are the two options Liverpool currently have to deploy in the left-back position. But the Scot has found it difficult to perform at his best this season, while Tsimikas has failed to secure his place in the starting XI at Anfield.
Furthermore, with Robertson turning 31 next year, signing a new left-back as a possible long-term replacement for him would be the right decision and Robinson would be an excellent acquisition if bought.
However, it will be interesting to see if the Merseyside club finally manages to secure the service of the US international to bolster the defensive department.
