Chelsea have joined Aston Villa and Newcastle United in contacting Wigan Athletic for promising defender Antonee Robinson.
According to the Mirror, the in-demand left-back is attracting top-flight interest after his proposed £10million move to AC Milan last month collapsed on deadline day.
There looks set to be plenty of talk surrounding the 22-year-old for the summer though, with the report claiming that Chelsea, Newcastle and Villa all keeping tabs on the former Everton star.
READ CHELSEA VERDICT
The USA international has been ever-present for Wigan this season after joining from Everton for £2million last summer.
The Championship club are set to earn a hefty profit on his services in the coming months though, and I think he’d be a good fit for Chelsea.
At right-back, Lampard has Reece James as a long-term option but at left-back, Emerson and Marcos Alonso are his only options.
I think it’d be a wise move to pursue Robinson if his valuation isn’t extortionate because he’ll add youth and potential longevity to a part of the squad that really needs it.
