Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson has admitted that he is open to leaving Craven Cottage.

The United States men's national team star is enjoying a brilliant campaign with Fulham, who currently sit eighth in the Premier League. Robinson has been among the division's best left-backs for some time and he continues to impress.

The 27-year-old put on a spectacular display against Liverpool at the weekend, notching two assists while also keeping Mohamed Salah mostly quiet over the course of a frantic match.

It was somewhat ironic that arguably his best performance of the season came against the club most heavily linked with him. Liverpool have been keeping tabs on Robinson for months, and his outing on Saturday will have surely impressed Arne Slot, especially after Andrew Robertson was sent off early on in the game.

Robinson reveals transfer desire

Robinson, of course, is no stranger to Merseyside, having spent his formative years in Everton's academy idolising Leighton Baines - which perhaps casts some doubt on whether he would be willing to join the Toffees' hated rivals.

Still, the American has admitted that he is open to leaving Fulham. In quotes published by MARCA, Robinson expressed his willingness to try a new challenge.

"I'm very happy here," he began. "The fact that there is interest from other teams is great. Obviously, it all comes down to whether someone wants me enough to pay what Fulham would ask. So, if the club sees it as a good idea, I would leave."

Coach Marco Silva is naturally determined to keep hold of his star defender. “I don’t want to talk too much about him because I know that next January the same story will repeat itself. Robinson is very focused and we must keep him like that for as long as possible,” he said.

MARCA states that it is not only Liverpool but also Man Utd and Man City who hold an interest in Robinson. He is sure to be one of the protagonists of upcoming transfer windows.
