DONE DEAL: Wigan sign Everton left-back Antonee Robinson

Wigan Athletic have signed USA left-back Antonee Robinson on a season-long loan from Everton.

The Latics have also signed free agent Darron Gibson, who left Sunderland in March, on a short-term deal.

Gibson, 30, has won 27 caps for the Republic of Ireland and previously played for Manchester United and Everton in the Premier League.

Robinson, 20, spent the 2017-18 campaign on loan at Bolton, for whom he made 30 appearances in the second tier.

"Left-back is an area we are a little short in and Antonee fills that void nicely, albeit he knows he has to work hard to make that position his own for us," said Latics boss Paul Cook.
