TBR Football can exclusively reveal what Liverpool’s scouts think of Fulham star Antonee Robinson as a potential summer target.
The Reds could be set for a busy summer on the transfer front after two quiet windows in a row.
Liverpool only brought one player to Anfield last summer – Federico Chiesa – and didn’t make any new signings in January.
This means the Reds could be in a good position to go all out when the summer window reopens, with some upgrades on the cards.
Clik here to view.
Liverpool scouts love Antonee Robinson as Kostas Tsimikas likely to leave
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm that Antonee Robinson remains Liverpool’s first-choice left-back target.
Robinson shows up brilliantly, analytically speaking, and he’s the player that the Reds scouts really love.
TBR Football also believe that Liverpool are looking for an immediate upgrade at left-back.
Kostas Tsimikas is the likely departure this summer, with Andrew Robertson perhaps looking at one more season at Anfield.
Liverpool are doing their work on other options – they like Jorrel Hato at Ajax, along with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez and Wolves ace Rayan Ait-Nouri.
However, we understand Robinson is the one their scouts love – as we revealed last year, the Fulham ace was top choice and that remains the case.
In addition Robinson is keen to move back to Liverpool, having come through the ranks at Merseyside rivals Everton.
What Antonee Robinson could bring to Liverpool
Robinson would be a ready-made option for Liverpool, having more than proven himself at Premier League and international level.
At 27 years old, Robinson is very much in his prime, and his key strengths include speed, reading of the game, and physicality. He’s also an assist machine.
Liverpool fans have already given their verdict on the prospect of signing Robinson – and they’re certainly keen.
Robinson’s speed is particularly impressive, with Opta stats – as of October last year – showing he’s clocked up 35.1kph, while Trent Alexander-Arnold was clocked at 34.7kph.
‘A player who shines on both sides of the ball and is ostensibly bereft of any real weaknesses, the USMNT star brings so much to the table for Marco Silva’s ambitious team,’ PFSA have written about Robinson.
‘Beginning with his defensive contributions, and the 27-year-old blends intelligence, aggression, tenacity and physicality to smartly break up attacks and impose himself on his opponents.
‘Meanwhile, when it comes to his offensive output, there’s much to like about his multidimensional impact here as well.
‘Such a threat with his crafty movement, the way he wisely chooses when to underlap or overlap depending on the position of his winger and space ahead sees him constantly asking questions of defences and propel his team into the final third with gusto.’
