# Newcastle: Magpies join the race to sign Antonee Robinson

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) have joined the race to sign Fulham defender Antonee Robinson in January, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Robinson representing USA

The American has recently been in Qatar having been [selected](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/usa-world-cup-2022-squad-gregg-berhalter-names-his-final-qualification-squad) to participate at the [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/), and his performances in the Middle East, alongside in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), have caught the eye.

The Craven Cottage ace is now entering the final [18 months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-fulham/vertragsende/verein/931/vertragsendeJahr/2024) of his contract in the capital, and with PIF being in the market for a new left-back, have seemingly identified the 25-year-old as someone they want to bring to St. James’ Park.

### The Latest: Newcastle eyeing Robinson

According to [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/newcastle-united/exclusive-magpies-ready-raid-prem-side-dynamic-defender-howe-aims-beat-inter-milan-usmnt-star), Newcastle are ‘ready to join the chase’ for Robinson in 2023, and he is a player Eddie Howe has ‘on his list’ of personal targets.

The Magpies, however, are set to face stiff competition for his signature, with Inter Milan also considering a move in the winter market.

### The Verdict: Ideal candidate?

Dan Burn has been [operating](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/82277/Show/Dan-Burn) at left-back for the majority of the season with Matt Targett seemingly out of favour, so the need for a natural full-back is apparent and Robinson could be an ideal candidate.

The Milton Keynes-born talent, [dubbed](https://www.football.london/fulham-fc/antonee-robinson-cements-place-over-19468046) ‘fearless’ by Scott Parker, has provided 12 assists and netted four goals throughout his career, and is an athletic player that loves to beat his opponent and bomb down the flank ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antonee-robinson/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/349701)).

Robinson may well become Howe’s first-choice option should he put pen to paper, though with his valuation likely having increased after the tournament, the chiefs have to be willing to cough up.
