‘Get it done’, ‘He’s class’ – Fans reacts as Man City face competition from Midlands club for left-back transfer target

Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims the club could be usurped by a fellow Premier League club in their bid to add cover at the left-back position in their squad.

Pep Guardiola is reportedly looking to strengthen his options on the left-hand side of the defence over the coming months, and Fulham defender Antonee Robinson has been linked with a surprise move to the Premier League champions this summer.

The 23-year-old defender, who joined the Cottagers from Wigan Athletic for £2million last summer, is attracting plenty of interest after Fulham’s year in the Premier League.

He made 28 appearances as the Cottagers put up a decent fight in trying to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.

His strong performances evidently haven’t gone unnoticed last term, with Manchester City rumoured to be keen on landing Robinson’s signature this summer, according to The Athletic.

The 23-year-old defender is being viewed as a potential bargain signing by the Premier League champions, with Championship outfit Fulham valuing him at around £10 million.

According to The Sun on Sunday (via M.E.N), Wolves could rival Manchester City for Antonee Robinson. It is noted that they also view him as someone who can provide cover.

It remains to be seen as to whether Fulham are willing to cash-in on Robinson, although they could be tempted, as they look to adjust to life back in the second tier of English football.

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City Xtra, many Man City fans have expressed their thoughts and opinions.

Good to see we are looking for a LB

Everytime I watched fulham play last season he was class reminds me of robertson in terms of a flying full back in a relegated team people may be put off by that but we’ve signed mendy for 50M a 10M deal for Robinson is a no brainier

I wouldn’t be surprised, the guy is fast & alright defensively, but needs a lot of development on the offensive part to match city style. What matters most, he’s home grown & city r primarily looking at home growns this window due to the limited “foreigners” spots left
