Liverpool Eye Premier League Star as Andrew Robertsonâs Potential Successorâ
Liverpoolâs board is reportedly considering potential replacements for Andrew Robertson, whose recent performances under manager Arne Slot have not matched his previous impact at the club.
Once a key figure in Liverpoolâs success, the Scottish defender has seen his playing time diminish, with Kostas Tsimikas now favored over him.
Tsimikas, who has flourished under Slot, was named Man of the Match in the impressive 2-1 victory over Brighton and has started seven league games this season.
Liverpoolâs focus is now shifting toward Fulhamâs left-back, Antonee Robinson. The 27-year-old American, who joined Fulham from Wigan in 2020, has been in excellent form in the Premier League.
It is rumored that Liverpool may offer Tsimikas plus cash to sign Robinson, whose current value stands at ÂŁ40 million, potentially reducing the overall cost of the deal.
Robinson has been a standout performer under Fulham manager Marco Silva, starting every Premier League match and helping the team secure seventh place before the November international break. Known for his defensive reliability and offensive contributions, Robinson has already registered three assists in 11 league appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Robertson has faced scrutiny from the media, especially since the managerial change from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.
Despite Robertsonâs struggles, Liverpool remains dominant, sitting at the top of both the Premier League and Champions League, with the best defensive record in Europeâs top five leagues, having conceded just six goals in 11 matches.
Arne Slot is reportedly keen to strengthen the left-back position with a proven Premier League player, and Robinsonâs potential arrival would not only address this need but also offer long-term stability given his consistent performances at Fulham.
A move for Robinson could be a significant step for Liverpool, especially after failing to reinforce their defense in the summer transfer window. Below is a tweet from @TheAnfieldBuzz sharing the latest news on Robinsonâs potential transfer to Liverpool:
