Liverpool have reportedly held talks to sign Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson, formerly of Everton, and he would be keen on a move to Anfield, according to TEAMtalk.
Arne Slot's side could be in the market for a new left-back in the coming weeks or months, with Tottenham Hotspur in talks to sign Andy Robertson. The Reds signed Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window, and the Hungarian left-back has predominantly been Slot's preferred choice in defence, pushing Robertson to a squad role.
Reports have also suggested that Robertson has agreed to join Spurs, so a deal could be on the cards over the coming days. Whether Liverpool sign a replacement left-back right now or in the summer remains to be seen, while there is also a possibility of bringing Kostas Tsimikas back from his loan spell at Roma.
Liverpool Hold Talks for New Left-Back

According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool have held talks over a possible move for former Everton defender Robinson, who would be keen on a return to Merseyside. The Reds see Kerkez and Robinson as two ideal options for the left-back position in the long term.
It's claimed that a move is being planned for the summer, rather than in the January transfer window, with Slot set to bring Tsimikas back from his loan spell with Roma. Robinson, described as 'one of the best full-backs in Europe', is out of contract in 2028, having been at Fulham since 2020 after his arrival from Wigan.
The report also claims that in the summer, Liverpool could look to send Tsimikas to Fulham as part of a potential deal for Robinson, while the Cottagers are also keen on Harvey Elliott, who is currently on loan at Aston Villa.
Robertson Sale Makes Sense in January

With Robertson's contract expiring in the summer, and no new deal seemingly on the table, and it would make sense for Liverpool to try and cash in before the end of the month. The Scottish international is likely to leave for nothing, and he's no longer a key player at Anfield after the signing of Kerkez.
Ideally, Liverpool maybe wouldn't want to sell to another Premier League side, but Tottenham are struggling in the bottom half of the table, so it's unlikely to have too much of an impact on the Reds this season.
