Everton defender Antonee Robinson ready for Wigan return

Everton defender Antonee Robinson is ready to leave Goodison Park.

The 21-year-old left-back is close to completing a permanent switch to Wigan Athletic, says the Liverpool Echo.

Robinson spent last season on loan at the Championship club and is now moving in on a return to the DW Stadium.

The defender was part of the first-team squad that travelled to Kenya last weekend but was not included in the group which flew to Switzerland on Thursday.

A Premier League 2 title winner with the club's under-23s, Robinson has been unable to force his way into Marco Silva's plans and with Leighton Baines signing a new one year contract, the young defender found himself down the pecking order at Goodison.
