Wigan Athletic fans are urging Everton youngster Antonee Robinson to join them for next season.

Robinson has spent this term on loan at Wigan from Everton, and he has impressed.

The rapid full-back has made 25 appearances for the Latics.

And the response to the Everton youngster’s goodbye message from Wigan fans was very positive.

Whether Everton will be open to letting Robinson leave again in the summer remains to be seen.

The American international is regarded as one of the brightest prospects at Goodison Park, but he faces a real fight to get into Marco Silva’s side.

Robinson would have to beat off competition from Lucas Digne if he was to break into Silva’s starting line-up at Goodison Park, which looks a very tough task.

Wigan ended up finishing in 18th place in the Championship table this season, comfortably clear of relegation.
