A key member of the defensive setup at Premier League outfit Fulham has, on Friday, committed his long-term future to the club.
The player in question? Antonee Robinson.
For those who may have missed it, left-back Robinson has seen his name take its place centre stage in the media headlines over the course of the last couple of weeks.
This comes after the United States international was identified as a potential summer addition on the part of a number of high-profile clubs.
Fresh off a fine season at Craven Cottage, both Newcastle United and Olympique Marseille saw their attentions piqued, adding to prior interest on the part of Manchester City and AC Milan.
With just a year to run on his previous terms with the club, it therefore didn’t come as a huge surprise when ensuing word was forthcoming that the Fulham brass were giving serious consideration to Robinson’s sale.
