Defender with highest EPL interceptions sought


Things are going to seem very different at Liverpool next season, both on and off the pitch.

With the Jurgen Klopp era coming to an end when the 2023/24 campaign finishes, there’s sure to be a period not only of reflection for Reds fans, but also an interest in what comes next.

The club need to be allowed to do their due diligence on a new manager, however long that takes, so having names constantly linked to the club because of their past as a player there isn’t helpful.

Whomever comes in will certainly need to hit the ground running and harness the energy and goodwill that has authored Klopp’s tenure at Anfield.

A defined playing style is a pre-requisite, though any new man is also likely to be judged on what players they decide to bring in.

According to Football Insider (h/t Fichajes), the Reds are genuinely interested in bringing in Fulham’s Antonee Robinson before the start of the new season.

The 26-year-old American leads the Premier League’s interception stats with 58 so far in an impressive campaign for him personally.

It’s believed that Robinson would ideally come in to provide competition for places with Andrew Robinson down Liverpool’s left-side.

Any deal isn’t likely to be easy mind, given that the player is contracted to the West Londoners until 2028.
