Liverpool have been linked with completing a signing in January that could help fire Arne Slot’s men to the Premier League title.
Since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer, Dutchman Slot has made an impressive impact. Currently, Liverpool leads the Premier League with a six-point advantage over Arsenal and sits at the top of the UEFA Champions League.
With the January transfer window fast approaching, reports suggest that Liverpool is closely monitoring a Premier League player who could bolster Slot’s squad. According to Football Insider, a significant transfer involving Fulham’s Antonee Robinson may be on the horizon, with Liverpool being one of the clubs most frequently linked.
Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown recently spoke about Robinson, calling him the perfect signing for Liverpool. He noted, “After his performance at Anfield, I’d expect the interest to have grown. There are not many left-backs available, and we know this is a position Liverpool wants to improve. Finding someone to replace
Andy Robertson is a challenging task, but Robinson has proven himself and is performing at his peak right now.”
Brown further commented, “He’s quite similar to Robertson in how he always looks to push forward and create problems with overlapping runs. Over the years, Robertson has been the best at this, but now you could argue that Robinson is right up there with him. From what I’ve heard, they see him as the perfect replacement for that role.”
After Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Leicester City on Boxing Day, Slot reflected, “Winning a game is always important, and we should have beaten Leicester at home, but I felt the same way after our matches with Fulham and Nottingham Forest; in the Premier League, you always have to work hard to secure a win. We’re aware of the league standings, but we also know there are still many games left to play.”
Liverpool will return to Premier League action on Sunday when they face West Ham United at the London Stadium.
