Antonee Robinson makes honest transfer admission that will be music to Liverpool ears
Antonee Robinson has admitted he would be open to a move away from Craven Cottage should at team meet Fulham's asking price for the left-back.
The 27-year-old put in an excellent performance at Anfield against the Reds recently, with Fulham drawing 2-2 against Liverpool. Robinson registered two assists in the draw and has been linked with a move to join Liverpool, potentially as a replacement for Andy Robertson, who was sent off after 17 minutes played last weekend.
And it appears as though Robinson would be open to leaving Craven Cottage should a team be able to meet Fulham's asking price for the USMNT international.

Speaking to Marca recently, Robinson said on his future: "I'm very happy here. 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."
Robinson's current Fulham deal runs through until 2028, meaning Fulham are in a strong negotiating position when it comes to an asking price for the US international. However, with Robinson edging closer to 30, they may want to cash in sooner rather than later so as to maximize his value which they could then re-invest in their squad.
Liverpool currently have two left-backs in the form of Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas, and with Joe Gomez able to cover that flank too, it seems unlikely the Reds would look to make a deal for the Fulham defender.
But should the opportunity present itself, you imagine it would be a deal Liverpool would consider, especially with Robertson set to turn 31 in March next year.
Liverpool.com says: "While Antonee Robinson will likely be considered by Liverpool as a potential successor to Andy Robertson, there will almost certainly be more options for the Reds to consider. That said, the Fulham defender was excellent against Liverpool, and would be an astute signing."
