Antonee Robinson has been linked with a move to Chelsea, and the Fulham defender is reportedly keen on the transfer.
A report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Antonee Robinson is very keen on joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can secure an agreement with Fulham. The American full-back is also a target for Liverpool.
The 26-year-old United States international has been a key player for Fulham, who might not be keen on letting him leave. However, he wants to take the next step in his career and join a big club capable of winning major trophies.
Although Chelsea have had a disappointing season, we are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and they have the resources and the squad to compete for trophies next season. It is no surprise that the United States international wants to join them.
He could prove to be an upgrade on Marc Cucurella, who has been quite underwhelming for Chelsea since joining them. Robinson will have to compete with Ben Chilwell for the starting spot next season.
Chelsea will need to improve their squad to get back into the Champions League and compete for major trophies once again. Signing the American International could prove to be a good decision. So, the interest in Robinson makes sense.
Antonee Robinson would improve Chelsea
The 26-year-old is already well settled in the Premier League, and he could adapt to his new surroundings quickly and make an immediate impact at Chelsea next season. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea can negotiate a reasonable fee with Fulham in the coming months.
Chelsea have been quite vulnerable defensively, and they will have to improve in that department if they want to do well next season. Signing a quality full-back should be one of their priorities. They should look to sign a quality central defender as well, especially with Thiago Silva leaving the club on a free transfer.
Robinson has also been linked with clubs like Liverpool, and he will want to secure a big money away from Fulham at the end of the season. The Reds will provide stiff competition to Chelsea, especially as they look to sign a left-back. But with Robinson keen on joining the Blues, Liverpool might have an uphill task to land him.
