145 Liverpool’s transfer business is always very well thought out.
Indeed, the Reds aren’t a team for panic buys, they sign quality players who suit their needs at any given moment.
As we all know, Liverpool have a bit of an injury crisis at the moment at left-back, and that has led to some speculation about signing a new player in that position.
One man who has been linked as of late is Antonee Robinson, but according to James Pearce, speaking on the Walk On Podcast, there’s nothing to this rumour.
Pearce says he’s been told by Liverpool that Robinson isn’t a target at the moment as they know that Andrew Robertson will be back in just a few weeks’ time.
Robinson not a target
Pearce shared what he knows about the £35m player.
“It’s like the defensive issue at the minute, people I’ve spoken to recently, Liverpool were linked with Robinson the full-back at Fulham, and when you check that out you’re told ‘why on earth would we sign another left-back when hopefully Robertson will be back by the end of January.’ You can’t just stockpile left-backs, you have Tsimikas to return at the end of February or maybe March time,” Pearce said.
Not needed
Liverpool are making the right decision in not going for Robinson at the moment.
Now, that isn’t to say that the USA international isn’t a quality player, but he’s really not what the Reds need.
Andrew Robertson will be back in just a few weeks’ time, and Kostas Tsimikas won’t be far behind him.
If Robinson came into Liverpool, he’d quickly slip down to second or even third in the pecking order, and the Reds would be wasting money on a signing who’d only really have a use case of a few weeks.
Robinson is good enough to get a big move, but heading to Anfield right now isn’t the next step in his career.
