West Ham United join race to sign Wigan Athletic defender Antonee Robinson?

West Ham United have reportedly identified Wigan Athletic defender Antonee Robinson as a potential signing.

As a result of the Latics being placed into administration, each of Paul Cook's first-team squad have effectively been put up for sale ahead of the next transfer window.

The developments at the DW Stadium have seemingly alerted West Ham, who have recently been linked with a cut-price bid for centre-back Cedric Kipre.

According to the Daily Mail, the Hammers are now taking a look at Robinson, who missed out on a transfer to AC Milan in January.

Despite that disappointment, the United States international has continued to star for Wigan in the Championship, making a total of 37 starts this season.

Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion are also said to be monitoring the situation ahead of a possible approach for the 22-year-old.
