In a surprising turn of events, Liverpool is reportedly keen on acquiring Bournemouth's left-back Milos Kerkez during the upcoming summer transfer window. Amid this speculation, Fulham's head coach Marco Silva has taken a moment to reflect on the remarkable contributions of Andy Robertson, who flourished under his guidance at Hull City.

Silva has heaped praise on Robertson, suggesting that the Scotland international has always exhibited the mindset necessary to become a prolific winner in football. In their mutual encounters, Silva holds just one victory against Liverpool, a 2-1 win at Hull City where Robertson's performance was critical to their success.

Speaking about his former player, Silva stated, "What a guy! He's incredibly hungry to win, and players like him are a dream to manage. His ambition drives him to continually improve. His second half of the season with us was spectacular, and it was immensely satisfying to see him elevate his career by joining a club of Liverpool's caliber."

Despite Robertson's exceptional track record, it’s interesting to note that he has yet to provide an assist in the Premier League this season. In contrast, Fulham’s left-back Antonee Robinson has tallied an impressive 10 assists, with only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah surpassing him in that statistic.

Silva is enthusiastic about Robinson's development, reflecting on their past together when Silva coached Everton. "I've worked with outstanding left-backs in this country," Silva remarked, "and while Robertson is one of them, Lucas Digne is another. Antonee exemplifies the journey of a player who had to make necessary moves and adapt to reach the elite levels of the Premier League."

He added, "Robinson has shown tremendous growth each season. This is what you expect from a player—a commitment to improving and evolving in their role."

As Silva prepares his team for their upcoming match against Liverpool, he aims to hand them their first away defeat in the Premier League this season. "Last Saturday’s performance was truly disappointing," he admitted, emphasizing that his own frustration exceeded that of the fans. "In my four seasons here, I can confidently say we've made significant progress. These past three years have represented a remarkable turnaround for a club that has faced challenges for long periods."

With the transfer window looming and the excitement of the match against Liverpool ahead, all eyes will be on the Fulham manager and his players to see if they can turn the tides and make a statement in this season's campaign. Stay tuned as the action unfolds!
