155 Liverpool have reportedly made an approach to bring Fulham’s Antonee Robinson to Anfield in January.
The Reds are currently without a conventional left-back after injuries to both players in that position.
Liverpool first-choice left-back Andy Robertson is out with a dislocated shoulder and Kostas Tsimikas is recovering from a broken collarbone.
This has led to Reds boss Jurgen Klopp naming Joe Gomez out on the left in Liverpool’s last two games.
According to 90Min, Liverpool have now set their sights on a new left-back, and Robinson is high up on their wish list.
The report claims that the Reds have reached out to Fulham over Robinson and are working in hope of striking an agreement.
Better still for Liverpool, the United States international is apparently open to a switch to Anfield.

Robinson has been a key player for Fulham over the years, going on to sign a new contract in the summer.
The 26-year-old has made 128 appearances for the Londoners, including 21 this season, of which 18 have come in the Premier League.
Robinson has also won 39 caps for the USMNT and played at the 2022 World Cup. He made a name for himself as one of the fastest players at the tournament.
As per Football Daily, he clocked up the joint fourth-highest speed in Qatar (21.99mph), faster than Kylian Mbappe (21.87mph).
Back in summer, the Evening Standard reported that the Cottagers wanted around £35million for Robinson. However, that was before he penned his new deal.
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks. Liverpool definitely need reinforcements at left-back, and Robinson ticks a lot of boxes for the Reds.
However, Fulham’s hand is very strong in negotiations, and they won’t make it easy for the Reds.
