Liverpool 'make enquiry over Fulham's Antonee Robinson'

Liverpool have reportedly contacted Fulham over a potential deal to sign Antonee Robinson.

The Reds are currently light on options in the left-back area following injuries to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Robertson has been out of action since October after dislocating his shoulder in Scotland's meeting with Spain in Euro 2024 qualifying.

The Scotsman's absence presented Tsimikas with a regular run in the Liverpool side, but he has now joined Robertson on the sidelines.

Tsimikas, a Greece international, broke his collarbone following a collision with Bukayo Saka in last Saturday's draw with Arsenal.

As a result of the injury, Klopp was forced to start Joe Gomez on the left side of defence for Tuesday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

While Liverpool are hopeful that Robertson will return to action next month, they are believed to be considering whether to bring in reinforcements in the new year.

According to 90min, the Reds have made contact with Fulham after identifying Robinson as a potential transfer target.

The report claims that Liverpool have reached out to the West London club to enquire about Robinson's availability ahead of the winter window.

With Robinson said to be open to the move, Liverpool are currently looking into the viability of a possible January transfer.

From Fulham's perspective, they are under no obvious pressure to sell, with the player's contract set to run until June 2028.

The USA international is regarded as a key player in Marco Silva's side, having started 18 of the club's 19 Premier League games this season.

In total, the 26-year-old has made 128 competitive appearances since joining the Cottagers from Wigan Athletic in 2020.

If Liverpool decide against signing a new left-back, they could opt to recall 21-year-old youngster Owen Beck from his loan spell with Scottish Premiership side Dundee.
