Manchester City are preparing a shock move for Fulham full back Antonee Robinson, according to the Sun.
Pep Guardiola is planning to overhaul his squad after City’s Champions’ League final disappointment and aims to sign younger players for the future. The 23 year-old’s athleticism and attacking instincts appeal to Guardiola and the English champions believe that a £10m bid would be enough to persuade Fulham to part with a player they only signed last summer from Wigan.
Robinson made 35 appearances in his debut season for Fulham, quickly displacing the club’s Wembley hero Joe Bryan at left back, and impressed despite the blow of relegation. The former Everton trainee has won eleven caps for the United States and helped the Americans qualify for the CONCACAF Nations League final in his first start for his country earlier this week.
Wouldn’t be the end of the world. Never understood why Parker always favoured him over Joe Bryan. Robinson is definitely quick but his final product leaves a lot to be desired. I’m sure Mitro missed Bryan’s assists. Both players seem better suited to the wing back role.
Yeah, right!!!
No way this can be remotely close to being true!
Think he will be a asset for us trying to get promoted again & having 2 left backs as good as him & Joe competing for a place in the starting line up would be a good thing. Shouldn’t be thinking of selling the likes of him, although I don’t believe three quarters of what the press say.
