Premier League side Aston Villa are keeping an eye on the situation of Antonee Robinson ahead of a potential move for him this summer, according to a report on The Mirror.
The report also reveals that Chelsea and Newcastle United are also keen on the full-back and all three clubs have contacted Wigan regarding the defender.
Robinson, who left Everton for the Latics on a permanent deal last summer, was close to completing a £6m move to Italian giants AC Milan last month.
However, the move broke down because there was not enough time left for the Serie A side to complete the required tests to register him as a player for the club.
READ ASTON VILLA VERDICT
Robinson is a key player for Wigan, as shown by the fact that he has played 30 times for the club in all competitions this season (Transfermarkt).
We believe that the 22-year-old would be a good addition to the Villa squad because of his ball interception and dribbling, which WhoScored list as his main strengths.
The USA international’s current deal with Wigan lasts until 2022 but with several clubs scrambling for his signature, the Championship club could be set to make a healthy profit on the player they signed for a mere £1.98m.
We believe that battling with the likes of Chelsea and AC Milan for Robinson’s signature won’t be easy for Villa, so remaining in the top-flight could be key for them if they are to stand a chance of getting Robinson to Villa Park.
