Inter Milan are lining up a move for Fulham’s speedy United States left-back Antonee Robinson.
The Italian giants are in the market for a new full-back and Robinson is being checked ahead of a potential offer in the window.
Robinson almost joined Inter’s rivals AC Milan two years ago before an issue in his medical that was later found to be false.
And while Milan have since gone elsewhere, Inter boss Simone Inzaghi is on the look out for an improvement in that area and Robinson fits the bill.
Inter’s left wing-back is Federico Dimarco, 25, but they want competition for him and Robinson, who started his career at Everton, is catching the eye.
The American flying machine was clocked as the fastest player in the first round of matches and his ability to attack as well as the pace to recover is making him an attractive option.
Robinson, 25 has done well for Fulham in the Premier League and is now a regular for the American national side too.
He could be open to going to Italy at the second attempt.
Fulham would want £15million to £20m for their star, signed from Wigan when they were in administration and now established as their first choice.
Manchester City and Wolves have tracked Robinson in the past but only wanted him as cover and would not pay the asking price.
Robinson has started both of USA's World Cup Group B games.
The fixtures against Wales and England ended in draws with knockout qualification going down to the final game.
