The former Everton full-back has been identified as a potential replacement for Andrew Robertson, who could be set for a switch to Tottenham this month. With the Scotland international possibly heading out, the Reds are expected to bring in a successor, and the 28-year-old American fits the profile. According to TEAMtalk, Robinson is open to the move.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson has been an important figure for Fulham, registering three goals and 22 assists in more than 200 appearances for the club. A transfer to Liverpool could represent the next step in his career, giving him the chance to compete at the highest level alongside elite players. A move to Anfield would also offer him the opportunity to challenge for major trophies in the coming seasons. Liverpool were linked with Robinson during the summer as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds strengthened at left-back earlier in the campaign with the signing of Milos Kerkez, who has impressed in recent weeks. However, increased competition in that position would be beneficial, and Robinson\u2019s arrival could provide exactly that. Both players could battle for the starting role, raising the overall level of the squad.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will make a formal offer for the United States international in the coming weeks. The club are financially capable of completing the deal, and persuading the player should not be an issue given his reported interest. The key question will be whether Liverpool and Fulham can reach an agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Robertson will be hoping for regular football at Tottenham if a move materialises, as he looks to revive his career. Currently a backup option at Liverpool, the experienced defender is unlikely to be content with a prolonged spell on the bench.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool are reportedly weighing up a move for Fulham defender Antonee Robinson.
