Town are interested in taking Liverpool left-back Jack Robinson on loan, according to a report in one of today’s tabloids. Now 18, Robinson became the Reds’ youngest ever senior player when he made his debut as a sub in a 0-0 Premier League draw with Hull City in May 2010 when aged only 16 years and 250 days.
Since then Robinson, who is 5ft 11in tall, has made one top flight start and one further sub appearance as well as two starts in the League Cup.
An England international at U16, U17, U18 and U19 levels, Warrington-born Robinson spent much of last season sidelined with foot and groin injuries.
With Aaron Cresswell firmly established as the Blues’ left-back, it seems unlikely that Liverpool would loan Town a player whose opportunities would be limited at Portman Road.
However, the Blues may view Robinson as a potential signing should Aston Villa firm up last month’s interest in Cresswell.
