So far this season, Fulham defender Antonee Robinson has proven to be one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, with his consistent performances for an excelling Cottagers side.

He was already seen as a top defender, but he has improved going forward too – with his 10 league assists only bettered by one of the Premier League’s best in Mohamed Salah this season.

In a recent interview, Antonee Robinson was asked to name who he thinks are the three best full-backs in the world at this moment in time.

Ex-Liverpool star Sadio Mane, 32, and his teenage wife celebrate new baby's naming ceremony, eight months after mum left school after their wedding	Liverpool line up two transfer moves for flying full-backs as Myles Lewis-Skelly delighted	Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain claimed Liverpool player was 'so bad' in training despite being 'best in the world'

Rather than bringing up numbers, or reputation, the defender was quite consistent in implying what he believes makes a top full-back, and would perhaps explain certain big-name absences from his top three.

When asked the question, the 27-year-old told ESPN: “I think Theo Hernandez is up there.

Similarly, [Alejandro] Grimaldo, based on when I’d seen him last season, you know, he’s more of a wing-back but again, he could do everything.

Back in January of 2020, Robinson – who was playing for then Championship side Wigan Athletic – had a medical with the Italian giants, but after a heart rhythm irregularity was discovered, a deal could not be completed.

Later on that year, he joined Fulham for £2m, taking advantage of the financial problems Wigan had at that time.

Pretty safe to say that Fulham will get a lot more than £2m if they are to sell Robinson to a big English club at any point.
