Antonee Robinson's Transfer to Fulham Adds to Club's U.S. Tradition, Could Serve as Launchpad

Fulhamerica is alive and well.

Antonee Robinson secured a transfer from Wigan Athletic to recently promoted Premier League club Fulham on Thursday, joining a long line of Americans to play for the London-based team–and, reading into comments made Wednesday by U.S. men's coach Gregg Berhalter, giving himself a prime opportunity to lock down a regular place with the national team.

Robinson, an English-born, attack-minded left back, will be the 11th U.S. international to play for Fulham, following in the footsteps of Brian McBride, Clint Dempsey, Carlos Bocanegra, Kasey Keller, Eddie Lewis, Marcus Hahnemann, Eddie Johnson, Emerson Hyndman, Luca de la Torre and Tim Ream.
