Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a potential move for the Fulham defender Antonee Robinson.
The 27-year-old has established himself as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, and he was outstanding for Fulham last season. He managed to chip in with 10 assists in 36 league games, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham.
Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe revealed on InsideForeword that the 27-year-old is on the radar of the North London club.
Tottenham need more depth
Although they have Destiny Udogie at their disposal, the Italian was quite inconsistent at times last season. He is a young player, and it is no surprise. He will need more support, and signing an experienced full-back would be ideal.
Robinson and Udogie could compete for the starting spot, and more competition for places will help both players improve.

Antonee Robinson could fancy joining Spurs
The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for the United States international. It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at a high level. He will be able to compete in the UEFA Champions League with Tottenham as well. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.
The defender is highly rated at the London club, and Fulham manager Marco Silva has previously labelled him as an “unbelievable” player.
Robinson has proven himself against elite attackers like Mohamed Salah, and there is no doubt that he would improve Spurs defensively. He will also add more cutting-edge going forward.
He’s at the peak of his powers, and this is the right time for him to take the next step and join a bigger club capable of pushing for trophies. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
