Liverpool, Man City Linked USMNT Star Equals Premier League Record After Superb Performance
In an electrifying display of skill and prowess, Fulham’s left-back Antonee Robinson has not just caught the eye of the Premier League’s titans but has also etched his name alongside USMNT legend Clint Dempsey in the annals of the league’s history.
Record Equaling Feat
Robinson, in a stellar performance against Tottenham, provided his sixth assist of the season, tying him with Dempsey for the most Premier League assists by a US player in a single campaign. This achievement underlines not only his offensive capabilities but his defensive solidity, contributing significantly to Fulham’s impressive clean sheet record.
Core to Fulham’s Ambitions
At the heart of Fulham’s tactical setup, Robinson’s consistency and health have been pivotal. Missing just one game through a minor injury, his importance to Marco Silva’s squad cannot be overstated. As Fulham aims for a strong season finish, Silva will be banking on Robinson’s form to continue its upward trajectory.
Attention from Premier League Giants
“Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been linked with moves for Robinson in recent months which is testament to the quality he’s shown at Craven Cottage,” notes TEAMTalk. This interest from the league’s heavyweights not only highlights Robinson’s elevated performances but also signals a looming battle for his signature.
A Price Tag That Speaks Volumes
With an existing contract extending to 2028, Fulham are in a strong position to negotiate. “Transfermarkt value Robinson £20m but he will certainly command a much bigger fee than that should a big club come calling for him in the summer,” TEAMTalk adds. Indeed, “Fulham slapped a £35m price tag on the defender last summer, so it’s likely that they’ll demand in excess of that amount to sanction a sale,” indicating the club’s valuation of the defender’s integral role.
Breaking Records and Setting Standards
As Robinson eyes Dempsey’s assist record, his trajectory suggests a new benchmark for American talent in the Premier League. With the spotlight firmly on him and the interest of England’s elite clubs, the summer transfer window could herald a new chapter for the defender.
