Fulham make Wigan Athletic defender first signing of summer transfer window
Fulham have signed Wigan left-back Antonee Robinson for an undisclosed fee.
The American defender, who had been linked with joining AC Milan in January, has signed a deal with the newly-promoted Premier League club until 2024.
Robinson said: “I am made up to be a Fulham player. I was really excited to get down here and get everything signed. When the lads get back in here, I can’t wait to get going.
“I heard a few days ago that Scott Parker was interested in me and wanted to speak to me personally. We had a Zoom call and he was really keen to get the deal done and for me to be a Fulham player.
“Fulham play a really nice style of football and I can see myself fitting in perfectly. As soon as I heard of the ambitions of the club it was an easy decision for me.”
Director of football Tony Khan added: “Antonee is a great young addition to our squad for our return to the Premier League.
“He works hard and is known for being an excellent team-mate with a great attitude, and he’s been a valued contributor everywhere he’s played in recent years, in the Championship and with the US men’s national team as well.”
