To those familiar with the Buckinghamshire-born defender, much of this is clear and obvious.
Robinson has been a regular in Flashscore's Team of the Week over the last couple of seasons, averaging a 7.3 rating so far this term with two Man of the Match performances.
Although regarded by many as the Premier League’s most consistent left-back, surpassing even Liverpool’s Andy Robertson, the rise of 'Jedi' hasn’t been overnight.
Robinson’s breakthrough came after leaving Wigan for Fulham ahead of the 2020/21 season. Despite initial relegation, he helped the club bounce back and has since become a key figure in the side.
He was Fulham's 2023/24 player of the season and his impressive performances have continued into the current campaign - if anything, they've improved as his game has grown.
A product of Everton
Robinson's career began with Everton, over 200 miles north of London, which has left distinct traces on his accent to those with a keen ear.
From the age of 11 until just before his 22nd birthday, he would have been dreaming about playing for the Toffees' first team.
Injuries prevented Robinson from getting a fair chance at playing for Everton's senior side; a particularly bad one required surgery on his knee when he was just 17.
It was heartbreaking for the then-teenager after being named Everton's U18 Players' Player of the Year a few months prior.
After recovering, he became a regular for the U23s and later joined Bolton on a short-term loan deal days before he turned 20.
His impressive performances earned him an extended stay until the end of the 2017/18 season, beating competition from the experienced Andrew Taylor - who had made the position his own the year before.
Wigan take a punt
Robinson's performances for Bolton didn't go unnoticed and Wigan picked him up from Everton on an initial loan deal.
His continued success in the Championship earned him a USA cap in May of 2018, turning down an approach from England's U21 camp to represent the country his dad was raised in.
It became clear that Robinson was destined for greater things after another eye-catching spell in the English second tier, making a permanent move to Wigan ahead of the 2019/20 season.
Just a few months later, in the January transfer window, Italian giants AC Milan agreed a deal to sign Robinson, but it fell through after his medical revealed a heart issue (which has since been corrected).
Following Wigan's relegation, Robinson was scooped up by Premier League club Fulham for £2 million.
Fulham reap the benefits
Robinson's progress at Fulham was steady at first, being used in rotation with Ola Aina.
Following the club's relegation at the end of the 2020/21 season, he played a key role in their immediate return to the Premier League and was named in the official Championship team of the season.
Watching Fulham - and Robinson - in 2022/23, it was hard to imagine they were in the second tier just a year before as the Cottagers finished in the top half of the table.
Robinson achieved an average Flashscore rating of 6.8 for that season, ranking him among the top full-backs in the Premier League.
One of the league's best
Robinson's remarkable speed and endurance, allowing him to cover the left flank effectively throughout matches, make him one of the most reliable left-backs in Europe.
His top speed has been recorded at 35.6 km/h, as per Opta by Stats Perform, putting him among the fastest players in the Premier League.
He excels in one-on-one situations and has successfully contained players like Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka. His defensive contributions are further highlighted by leading the league in interceptions last season (81).
Offensively Robinson has become a significant asset for Fulham. Leading Europe’s top five leagues in interceptions during the 2023/24 season, 'Jedi' also ranked among the most creative defenders with 10 assists by February of this year.
While he’s yet to score and his pass accuracy is around 80%, his influence at both ends of the pitch is undeniable.
Compared to players like Robertson, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Pervis Estupinan and Tyrick Mitchell, Robinson - a converted winger - leans more toward traditional defensive duties, but his attacking game is quickly catching up.
There are sure to be a host of clubs across Europe interested in his services this coming summer, but it remains to be seen how open Fulham would be to offers.
