Chelsea have reportedly registered interest in Fulham's USMNT defender.

Chelsea has set their sights on USMNT defender Antonee Robinson, currently shining at Fulham. 

This interest, as reported by renowned Blues journalist Simon Phillips and the Daily Mail's Sami Mokbel, places Robinson among the notable names such as Crystal Palace's Michael Olise and Newcastle's Callum Wilson, who are also on Chelsea's radar.

Robinson's Rising Stock

Antonee Robinson's impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with the Fulham defender being earmarked as a potential summer signing. 

His versatility and resilience make him an ideal candidate to strengthen Mauricio Pochettino's defensive line and provide necessary backup for the often-injured Ben Chilwell. 

Robinson's ability to contribute effectively in defensive and offensive roles adds to his appeal as a transfer target.

Premier League Interest Peaks

Chelsea isn't alone in their interest in Robinson. Liverpool has also been reported to have 'held talks' about the American full-back, admiring his consistent work rate and contribution on both sides of the pitch. 

Robinson's recent form, with a goal or assist in five consecutive matches for club and country, further bolsters his reputation. The spotlight on Robinson intensifies as Fulham prepares to face Newcastle in the FA Cup and Chelsea gears up for a heavyweight Premier League clash against Liverpool.
