Antonee Robinson is one of the most dangerous attacking left-backs in the world, and he gives the USMNT relentless pace and energy down the left. A product of the Everton academy, Robinson made his name at Fulham, where his overlapping runs and crossing have turned him into a genuine Premier League star. At a home World Cup, he is a nailed-on starter for the United States.
From Everton to Fulham
Robinson came through at Everton but built his career elsewhere, with loan spells at Bolton and Wigan giving him the senior minutes he needed. A move to Fulham was the making of him, and he has grown into one of the best left-backs in England, combining defensive grit with a huge attacking output. The table below covers his main club spells in our database.
| Club | Apps | Tackles won | Interceptions | Clearances | Aerial duels won |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bolton Wanderers | 45 | 36 | 48 | 101 | 33 |
| Wigan Athletic | 25 | 29 | 34 | 86 | 42 |
| Fulham | 226 | 275 | 364 | 534 | 260 |
What the numbers say
Robinson’s Fulham record is enormous: across 226 appearances he won 275 tackles, made 364 interceptions and added 534 clearances, with 260 aerial duels won on top. That is the workload of a left-back who defends his flank ferociously, and it comes alongside the pace that makes him so dangerous going forward. Few fullbacks anywhere cover as much ground at both ends.
