The 26-year-old left back is flying the American flag higher than anyone else at Craven Cottage – and possibly higher than anyone else in European soccer too
Others might appear on the Mount Rushmore of current US men’s national team icons before Antonee Robinson. Indeed, Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna, Weston McKennie and Yunus Musah might all get a mention for their European exploits ahead of Robinson, but the Fulham left back is out-performing them all right now.
Mohamed Salah knows how well Robinson is currently playing. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Jarrod Bowen too. They have all come up against the American for a resurgent Fulham team recently and struggled to make an impact. Robinson – nicknamed ‘Jedi’ from childhood – stopped them. The force is strong with him at this moment in time.
