Premier League leaders Liverpool face relegation-threatened Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot’s side have been formidable this term and currently sit 13 points clear at the top of the table with just ten games remaining. The Dutchman therefore looks likely to guide the Reds to just their second ever Premier League title in his first season in England.
Liverpool are expected to cruise to victory over the Saints at Anfield, with the south coast side rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table.
Liverpool Target Fulham Defender As Robertson Successor
Meanwhile, it appears that one of Liverpool’s transfer targets could be available for around £40 million this summer. According to Football Insider, Fulham will listen to offers in excess of £40 million for full-back Antonee Robinson this summer.
The US international has attracted interest from both Liverpool and Manchester United, having impressed in the Premier League this season with his defensive capabilities and attacking contributions.
Robinson, 27, joined the Cottagers from Football League outfit Wigan Athletic in 2020 and has since made 179 appearances for the West London side across all competitions.
Robinson’s Impressive Premier League Performance
This season, the American left-back has showcased his attacking prowess by registering ten assists in 27 Premier League games for Marco Silva’s side, helping them mount a challenge for European qualification. His key attributes include:
- Exceptional crossing ability
- Pace to cover defensive responsibilities
- Attacking mindset that complements modern full-back requirements
- Premier League experience and consistency
It is claimed that Liverpool are on the hunt for a potential long-term successor to Andy Robertson, who faces an uncertain future on Merseyside as the club looks to refresh their defensive options.
The report does claim, however, that Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is currently of more significant interest to the Reds, although Robinson is firmly on the club’s radar as they assess potential targets for the upcoming transfer window.
Robinson is under contract with the Whites until the end of the 2027/28 campaign, but Fulham could face a battle to keep hold of their star left-back with both Liverpool and United showing serious interest in securing his signature.
The potential transfer battle highlights the growing reputation of Robinson, who has developed significantly since his Championship days and has now established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent full-backs.
