According to The Mirror, Leicester City want to move for Wigan Athletic full back Antonee Robinson this summer.
It’s claimed that Leicester want to add another full back as competition or even insurance for Ben Chilwell, who is attracting huge interest.
The Foxes are eyeing up Robinson as a potential signing for that role, even though AC Milan are once again interested in signing him.
Milan had a deal set up in January, but a medical issue kiboshed the move. Now, Leicester are ready to launch their own move.
Wigan are entering administration as per the club’s announcement just days ago, so Robinson could be landed for much cheaper than first expected.
A speedy United States international, Robinson has a similar profile to James Justin – the full back Leicester signed from the EFL last summer to challenge Ricardo Pereira.
Joining Leicester would see Robinson head back to the Premier League. He was on the books at Everton, but they sold him for just £2million last summer.
Given how Robinson is developing, Everton may wish they had kept hold of him, but at least they can expect to take a cut from any move to the King Power Stadium thanks to a sell-on clause.
