Report: Hammers to miss out on left back target

Sheffield United have won the race to sign Antonee Robinson from Wigan for £2million after reaching an agreement with the Latics’ administrators, beating off competition from the likes of West Ham claims a report by David Anderson from the Daily Mirror.

David Moyes was claimed to hold interest in Robinson who returned to Wigan after undergoing treatment on a heart issue detected during a failed transfer to AC Milan in January. The 22-year-old defender was poised to make a seven-figure move to the Serie A side, only for an irregular heart rhythm to show up during his medical. He has since had further tests and treatment and returned with his doctors telling him he doesn’t require any further medical procedures

In March, it was revealed that the former Everton trainee was planned to undergo cardiac ablation to fix the issue detected in his heart.

Robinson joined Wigan from Everton Academy in July 2019 for £2m on a three-year contract and the Toffees retain a 20% sell-on clause.

Moyes watched the youngster play in the closing week of the Championship but it appears Robinson will not sign as a Hammer.
