USMNT defender Antonee Robinson has become one of Fulham’s best players in the last pair of Premier League campaigns. His top-notch performances in one of the best leagues in the world are reflected by insane on-field statistics worthy of recognition. He’s become an all-around defensive machine.
Antonee Robinson finishes 2023 as the only Premier League player with "triple 90" stats
Jedi Robinson welcomed the new year with an outstanding statistic that places him above some of England’s best defensive players.
The American defender closed out 2023 as the only player in the Premier League to have recorded 90+ tackles, 90+ clearances, and 90+ interceptions in 2023.
The 24-year-old tallied a staggering 91 tackles, 93 clearances and 94 interceptions between the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons.

A beautiful anomaly.
Robinson was also named inside WhoScored.com’s Premier League Team of the Year on Tuesday, making the squad with a 6.92 overall rating along the likes of league stars Virgil van Dijk, Alexander Arnold, Bruno Fernandes, Rodri and Erling Haaland.

These impressive figures are mainly due to his great start to the current 2023/24 Premier League campaign, becoming the only player thus far to have recorded 40+ tackles and interceptions.

He’s going to be a problem in this summer’s Copa America.
Antonee Robinson linked to a Liverpool move
Robinson’s performances — apart from making an impact on statistics and team of the season — have also attracted the attention of top clubs interested in signing the American.
According to multiple sources, the USMNT player could be making a move out of London in 2024, with clubs like Liverpool interested in the fullback.

Liverpool have reportedly made contact with Fulham over the possibility of signing USMNT defender Antonee Robinson in January, who's open to the move.

This could be huge.
Liverpool are currently struggling with the absences of left backs Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson due to injury and have found no natural replacement for them in the starting XI. Robinson, in this case, would be a no-brainer solution.
While there isn’t much information aside from the reported inquiries from the Reds for the American, we can assure you that if these performances from the 24-year-old continue, we won’t be seeing him with Fulham for much longer.
