Chelsea to compete with Man United for 26-year-old defender who will cost over £35m

Chelsea Manchester United are interested in signing the Fulham defender Antonee Robinson at the end of the season.

The 26-year-old United States international has established himself as a reliable Premier League left back and his performances have attracted the attention of the top clubs.

Give Me Sport reports that Bayern Munich are keen on the player as well. Robinson is reportedly valued in excess of £35 million and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea are prepared to pay that kind of money for them.

The Blues currently have Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella as their left back options. However, the Spaniard has not been able to live up to the expectations since the big-money move from Brighton. He could be sold in the summer and Chelsea will have to replace some adequately.

Although, they have Ian Maatsen on the books as well, the young defender is likely to move on permanently upon the expiry of his loan deal at Borussia Dortmund.

Robinson could prove to be a quality addition to the Chelsea defence and he could compete with Chilwell for a starting spot.

Similarly, Manchester United need to invest in a left back as well. Luke Shaw has had his fair share of injury problems and Tyrell Malacia has barely featured.

The opportunity to join Chelsea or Manchester United could prove to be hard to turn down for the Fulham defender and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Both clubs have the financial resources to afford the 26-year-old and it will be interesting to see if they can secure an agreement with Fulham in the summer.
