Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool is closely monitoring Fulham player Antonee Robinson in anticipation of a possible summer transfer.
The 26-year-old star of Cottagers is a fixture for Marco Silva’s team and has shown Anfield talent-spotters what he can do this season.
The data team at Liverpool has conducted analysis that indicates Robinson’s effectiveness for Fulham goes beyond what his basic stats would imply.
The American international leads the Premier League this season in interceptions (58), which is 18 more than James Tarkowski of Everton, who is in second position, according to FBRef.
In terms of progressive passes, successful takeaways, and progressive carries, he is also one of the finest full-backs in England’s top division.
Robinson has made 29 appearances for Fulham this season in all competitions, with five assists.
During the 2023–24 season, he has started all but one of the Cottagers’ Premier League games.
The American international, who signed a new contract last year (2023), is bound until June 2028. He joined Fulham from Wigan in 2020.
Andy Robertson is back to full health for Liverpool following an almost four-month absence due to a major injury to his shoulder.
The Scotland international was covered by Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez when he was out, but the Merseysiders may now want to add another player this summer.
Leading team in the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp’s team will begin playing in the Europa League knockout stages starting next month.
