Antonee Robinson is spending another season in the Championship at Wigan Athletic, on loan from Premier League Everton.
The future looks bright for Everton at left-back.
Lucas Digne showed why he was signed as Leighton Baines’ long-term successor with a pinpoint assist for Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal in the 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
Meanwhile, youngster Antonee Robinson is continuing to earn rave reviews in the Championship.
The Goodison Park academy graduate was excellent last season as Bolton Wanderers narrowly avoided relegation back to League One and has started his new spell at Wigan Athletic in fine fashion, too.
Robinson has started six out of six Championship games on the left of Paul Cook’s defence, with the Latics just two points off second place already.
And the 21-year-old has been rewarded with a call-up for the USA national team ahead of their clashes with Brazil and Mexico in the upcoming international break. It remains to be seen whether Robinson will add to his tally of two caps.
But the reaction from Everton fans show how highly he is rated on Merseyside, while the response from Wigan supporters highlight just how far he has come in just a few weeks at the DW Stadium.
It seems only a matter of time before he gets his chance in Everton’s first-team.
