Left-Back Swap Silliness: Liverpool Eye On Robinson…
It’s Andy Robertson’s birthday bash, but Liverpool seems to be eyeing a present for themselves in the form of Fulham’s Antonee Robinson. The USMNT star spoke up about a possible Anfield switch, and it’s safe to say he’s not losing sleep over it. After all, Robertson’s turned the big 3-1, causing rumors to swirl – though comparing Robinson to a PokĂ©mon evolution of Robertson might be a stretch!
Robinson may have been saving Fulham from wobbles with his top-notch defending and assist-making magic in the Premier League, making him hotter than a summer’s day in Liverpool. Ranking in the 98th percentile for assists and carrying the ball like a postal worker on a mission, he’s the left-back dream all wrapped up with a bow. But at 27, Robinson might just leave Liverpool feeling like they’re back at square one.
Despite the buzz, Robinson is as chilled as a penguin in Alaska, brushing off the Reds’ interest like it’s dandruff. “It’s just my Liverpool-loving friends blowing up my phone,” he confessed to ESPN. After his Everton youth system days, returning to Merseyside in red could read like a fairy tale. But for Robinson, ‘not today Liverpool!’ seems to be the motto. Happy Birthday, Robertson!
