Liverpool are keen on signing Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson and could offer Kostas Tsimikas in a potential part-exchange deal.
Liverpool have had a sensational start to the new season under Arne Slot and they are now looking at ways to reinforce their squad in January. According to a report from TBR, the Reds want to bring in a new left-back and they have their eyes set on Fulham’s Antonee Robinson.
The Merseyside club are ready to offer Kostas Tsimikas in a part exchange deal to lower the asking price and to ensure the Cottagers agree to a deal mid-season.
Slot has had an exceptional start to life at Anfield. His Liverpool are top of the Premier League as well as the Champions League. While they are doing most things right, the Dutch manager has identified a few areas that need reinforcement.
He feels the need to bring in a new left-back in the upcoming transfer window to bolster his squad. Andy Robertson is all set to turn 31 in the near future and his levels have dropped of late.
While Kostas Tsimikas has started quite a few games for Slot’s team and has done a great job for them at the back, they want an upgrade in that position and Antonee Robinson is on their wishlist.
Liverpool plotting a winter move for Robinson
The Reds have a long-standing interest in the 27-year-old full-back who came up the ranks at Everton. He has only gone from strength to strength since joining Fulham in 2020 and is amongst the best left-backs in the country.
Slot believes the speedster is an ideal fit for his team and they are considering making a move for him in the upcoming transfer window. They are willing to offer Tsimikas in a part-exchange deal to bring down his £40 million asking price.
Despite his performances and the fact that his contract runs until the summer of 2027, Tsimikas’ long-term future is not certain. While the Reds are looking at other targets, Robinson is quite high on their wishlist. Fulham will find it difficult to hold onto their star but it will be interesting to see if they are interested in having Tsimikas move the other way as a part of the deal.
