Fulham are closing in on the signing of full-back Antonee Robinson for a cut-price fee of £1.9million.

The Wigan man, who saw a £6million move to AC Milan fall through in January, is set to pen a £45,000-a-week deal in west London following Fulham's promotion back to the Premier League.

Scott Parker is keen to bring in players who complement his current squad, rather than oversee an overhaul similar to the £100million spree of two years ago which ended with immediate relegation back to the Championship.

Robinson, who came through the Everton academy before joining Wigan permanently last year following a season on loan, was also of interest to West Ham boss David Moyes.

Fulham remain in talks over a deal to bring midfielder Harrison Reed to the club on a permanent basis. A deal with Southampton is expected to be straightforward given the Cottagers had an £8million option to buy in last season's loan deal, leaving personal terms as the biggest challenge. The Saints would be happy to keep 25-year-old on their books but cannot provide the same assurances over first-team game time and do not want to stand in his way if it is on offer elsewhere.

Parker will also cast his eye over Jean Michael-Seri and Frank Zambo Aguissa when they return from respective loan spells at Galatasary and Villarreal in pre-season training next week.
