# Chelsea join Premier League interest in Wigan’s Robinson

Chelsea have joined Aston Villa and Newcastle United in contacting Wigan Athletic for promising defender Antonee Robinson.

According to [the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-among-clubs-keeping-tabs-21459993), 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antonee-robinson/profil/spieler/349701) this season after [joining from Everton for £2million](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/wigan-athletic/transfer-talk/news/wigan-complete-antonee-robinson-signing-from-everton_365091.html) 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](https://www.premierleague.com/clubs/4/Chelsea/squad).

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.
