Antonee Robinson is expected to have a medical with AC Milan on Friday

AC Milan have agreed to sign Wigan Athletic defender Antonee Robinson in a deal that could rise to £10m.

The left-back is set to join the Italian club as a replacement for Ricardo Rodriguez, who has joined Dutch side PSV Eindhoven on loan.

Milan are set to pay an initial £6m for Robinson, who will undergo a medical in Italy on Friday.

Wigan bought Robinson only last summer for less than £2m from Everton and has made 30 appearances for the Latics this season.

The Milton Keynes-born defender is a full United States international, having made his debut in 2018.

Milan have opted to sign Robinson over another British-born talent in Hearts youngster Aaron Hickey.

Robinson is likely to provide back-up to first-choice left-back Theo Hernandez, who has scored six goals in 19 appearances this season.
