Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson has been linked with a move to Liverpool on several instances.

Over two weeks ago, TBR Football exclusively revealed that Robinson is Liverpool’s first-choice left-back target and the scouts at Anfield are huge fans of his.

In fact, Liverpool aimed to sign Robison in January and were prepared to put forth a formal offer to secure his services.

However, Fulham decided not to sell the USA international.

But whether Antonee Robinson is well and truly the real deal for Liverpool is a question that one of his teammates in Joachim Andersen can truly answer.

Joachim Andersen says he’s never seen a player sprint as much as Liverpool target Antonee Robinson

While Andersen did not directly discuss Robinson and his suitability to Liverpool, he did sing the Milton Keynes-born defender’s praises and claimed he has never seen a player sprint as much as he does.

Joachim Andersen told TNT Sports: “I don’t play next to him but just one spot to the right. But no, he’s been amazing for this season and obviously, I played with him before when I was in my first spell at Fulham so I know him quite well and he’s nice to have on the left side. He never stops running.”

“I’ve never seen a guy who sprints so much like him. I also think his stats show that. So, he’s having a really, really good season and we’re lucky to have him.”

Recently, Robinson addressed his links to Liverpool by revealing that his friends and family ask him whether he is set for a move to Merseyside but the man himself did not give anything away about a potential move.

Antonee Robinson sprints compared to Andy Robertson

If the 27-year-old does make a move to Arne Slot’s side, the transfer would be bad news for Andy Robertson, 31 who has not had his best season despite playing for the best team in the Premier League.

The Cottagers defender looks like the Scotsman when he was a few years younger — quick, direct, a top athlete and a brilliant crosser of the ball.

Just in terms of both players’ top speeds in the Premier League this season, Opta Analyst (data revealed in December) showed that Robinson’s top speed was clocked at 35.6 km/h and he make 8.5 sprints per 90 minutes — with 48.4% of his runs made at full pelt.

Robertson, however betters Robinson in this regard with 49.7% of his runs coming at full speed.

But then again, Robinson’ highest sprint speed at the time made him one of the five fastest players in the league.
