Antonee Robinson has broken his silence on Liverpool links that have emerged this season as a result of his solid performances for Fulham.

The USA international was discussed as a possible Reds transfer target by Fabrizio Romano, albeit tentatively.

Robinson has enjoyed a career-best season, registering 10 assists in league play—more than any other defender in England’s top-flight and second only to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah overall.

His attacking contributions have been pivotal in Fulham’s push for European qualification, with the team currently sitting ninth in the Premier League.

Liverpool fans have already witnessed Robinson’s quality firsthand this season.

During Fulham’s 2-2 draw at Anfield in December, Robinson delivered a standout performance, providing two assists.

The club’s reported interest in Robinson is said to be fueled by concerns over the left-back position and explains the pursuit of Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez.

But it seems that the player himself is under no illusions, with Robinson recently sitting down with ESPN to set the record straight:

“I’ve been in the game long enough now to kind of know you have to block out the outside noise and things like that because I’ve been on the end of it when I’ve not been playing well,” Robinson told ESPN.

“I saw criticism when I was younger, seeing people doubting me and things.

You have to believe in yourself and when things are going bad, focus on yourself, and when things are going good, focus on keeping going.”

He then mentioned Liverpool directly, suggesting that it was purely paper talk as a result of his good performances for the Cottagers this campaign:

“So, transfer rumors and stuff like that, I try not to look at,” the 27-year-old continued.

“Especially like with the Liverpool one, all my friends and family are from Liverpool, so it’s more of them messaging me than me seeing newspaper stuff.”

“And I have to say, look, it’s just a story in the paper and anyone who’s doing well is going to get linked to a team.”

The 27-year-old’s contract expires in 2028.
