Antonee Robinson has revealed a personal touch from Scott Parker helped Fulham see off rival Premier League clubs to seal his £1.9million move Wigan.

Robinson has joined Fulham on a four-year deal worth around £45,000 a week.

The 23-year-old USA international was also wanted by Sheffield United, Newcastle and West Brom, but he decided on a switch to Craven Cottage following talks with Parker.

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.”

Robinson had a £6m move to AC Milan fall through in January.

Fulham director of football Tony Khan added: “I’m pleased to announce that Antonee Robinson has joined Fulham Football Club on a multiyear contract agreement. 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 teammate with a great attitude, and he’s been a valued contributor everywhere he’s played in recent years, in the Championship and with the U.S. men’s national team as well.”
