Fulham are confident of keeping American international Antonee Robinson at the club after the flying full back expressed an interest in extending his Craven Cottage contract.

Reports last month suggested that the former Wigan Athletic left-back had rejected a new deal with the Whites, but this was wide of the mark as Robinson had instructed his representatives not to discuss terms until he had completed his international commitments at the CONCACAF Nations League. The 25 year-old, who had arguably his strongest season in SW6 as the Whites finished tenth on their return to the top flight, is willing to commit his future to the Cottagers as long as the terms of his new deal are amenable.

The Sun’s Alan Nixon reports that Robinson is happy in London and, contrary to earlier reports, is interested in remaining with the Whites having been appreciative of Marco Silva’s faith in his ability when the Portuguese head coach confirmed the Wirral-born left back as his first choice after succeeding Scott Parker. Robinson has made 103 appearances for Fulham since moving from Wigan in the summer of 2020 and Fulham are ready to ‘push the boat’ in order to secure the long-term future of one of their key players.
