New Delhi: It was the last weekend of 2024, marking the end of an exciting and unpredictable American soccer season. The final weekend was somewhat of a high point for the players of the U.S. men’s national team overseas, despite the fact that injuries sidelined a number of the stars. In the last few months of 2024, Antonee Robinson has been the talk of the town, and Sunday was no exception.
Let’s face it, with such performances, the Fulham star might not be a Fulham star for long. Another week, another assist. The fact that Robinson is currently ranked alongside Christian Pulisic as the top USMNT player in Europe speaks something about the 27-year-old fullback. Antonee Robinson has undoubtedly heard the hype and, more significantly, the discussion. He has been called the best left-back in the Premier League, and he keeps proving it.
An incredible start to the season

Robinson had a great game when he provided Harry Wilson with an assist in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, which served as evidence. This season, it was his seventh assist which also suggests that only Bukayo Saka and Mohammed Salah are ahead of the American fullback in the list of most number assists in the Premier League this season. From a position that rarely receives attention, Robinson is playing with the best and he is certainly doing his bit for the Cottagers.
Now Robinson must be experiencing that love. He has developed the reputation of being associated with big maneuvers. In that regard, it benefits both him and the USMNT since he has demonstrated that he can perform at Fulham. There will be cause for excitement regarding the fullback’s progress in February, regardless of where he plays.
He is the most consistent provider in that Fulham squad who are now sitting eighth in the league. He seems to have it all that a manager demands from a modern day fullback. So far we have been talking about his attacking abilities but one thing about the America that would attract a lot of attention is the fact that his defending is equally good. Robinson is currently the guy to watch, and each time he steps onto the field, he proves it.
The fullback produced a man of the match performance against Liverpool, where he provided two assists to make sure that the points are shared between the two sides at Anfield. Even against Chelsea, his performance was top notch, although he didn’t score or assist any, but he proved to be a great asset for Marco Silva’s side as they managed to edge past the Blues 2-1.

Robinson has been playing well lately; in December, the 27-year-old recorded his fourth assist. Fulham, on the other hand, has also had a fantastic run lately; the Cottagers have won seven straight games and lost just one in their previous eleven. The American played well against Bournemouth as well, winning seven of eleven ground duels, recording 70 touches on the ball, and completing 78 percent of his passes during the game.
With five-place Manchester City in sixth place going into the new year, Fulham is currently one point out of European competition. The calendar year for Fulham is over, and they won’t be playing again until 2025. While Robinson will consider his options, the Cottagers will also try to bolster their roster in January through the winter transfer window. League leaders Liverpool have surfaced as a possible bidder for the American star, who has been strongly linked to a move away from Craven Cottage.
With Andrew Robertson showing signs of a dip in form this season, this might just turn out to be a top move for the Red’s as Robinson might just fir into the lineup perfectly for Arne Slot.
Fulham’s Antonee Robinson has emerged as a standout performer this season, ranking third in Premier League assists with seven to his name. Does this prove that the Liverpool target is the best left-back in the league? Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
