WHAT HAPPENED?
The Fulham full-back continues to catch the eye in the Premier League, with two assists recorded during a visit to Anfield on December 14. That contest acted as another audition for Robinson, who has seen a move to Merseyside speculated on for some time.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Interest from Liverpool may be stepped up early in 2025, with Arne Slot considered to be in the market for an upgrade to Scottish left-back Andy Robertson – who has seen the odd mistake creep into his game. A formal offer could soon be presented to the Cottagers.

WHAT CARRAGHER SAID
Carragher believes the United States international will be registering on the radar at Anfield, telling when asked if Robinson’s performance against Liverpool has convinced the Reds to make their move: “He was outstanding. He was the best player on the pitch. When you are going to Anfield and you are playing against Mo Salah – possibly the best player in the Premier League this season – and you come out of it with a Man of the Match award, that shows you how highly he is thought of. Yes, I think Liverpool probably will be shopping for a left-back in January and I’m sure he will be top of the list.”

WHAT NEXT FOR ROBINSON?
Robinson is tied to a contract at Craven Cottage through to the summer of 2028, so will not come cheap as Fulham can demand the highest possible price for their prized asset. The 27-year-old has 50 caps for the USMNT and will be hoping to figure prominently in their countdown to the 2026 World Cup finals.
