Antonee Robinson was in Milan. He took his medical. His manager at Wigan Athletic had sung his praises and wished him well.
His AC Milan move is not coming to fruition, though.
The U.S. international left back had his proposed transfer to the Serie A power fall apart on deadline day, and he'll return to Wigan after a wild set of circumstances.
Robinson was pegged as a depth piece for Milan, which sent Ricardo Rodriguez on loan to PSV Eindhoven and was otherwise thinned out behind starter Theo Hernandez. It was a surprise target, though the forward-pushing Robinson has started every game for Wigan this season and has shown glimpses of breakout potential.
