Despite the interest of clubs across Europe, it appears as though Fulham have 'no intention' of cashing in on potential moves for USA international Antonee Robinson after the left-back impressed at the World Cup according to transfer insider Dean Jones.
Robinson played every minute in all four matches of the U.S' tournament throughout late November and early December as they reached the knockout stages for the first time since 2014.
The 25-year-old has also been in top form for Marco Silva's side having played 90 minutes in all but two matches (due to an ankle injury early in the season) - and has caught the eye of many good clubs.

One of those clubs has been reported to be Newcastle United, with Dan Burn being played out-of-position by Eddie Howe ahead of natural left-back Matt Targett who signed permanently for the club in the summer.
However, it's believed that Howe wants a left-back more suited to summer signing Kieran Trippier's style - someone that can push further up the field while having the pace and defensive awareness to track back when necessary which is a profile that Robinson fits.
Jones told GiveMeSport that despite Robinson's good performance for the U.S at the World Cup earlier this month, the Cottagers have no intentions of cashing in on his good form next month when the window opens up.
"He’s had a good season with Fulham, he’s had a good World Cup. There’s been clear progress in his overall game too, he’s very much becoming the all-round modern full-back.
"At this stage Fulham have had no inquiries, they’ve got no intention to sell him. So we’ll have to see whether anybody can change that situation."
The Magpies may have a battle on their hands for his signature though and not just with Fulham either. With Robinson's contract running out in around 18 months time, it means plenty of other clubs are fishing around to potentially land his services - one of those being Serie A giants Inter Milan.
Either way, Fulham certainly won't let him leave for nothing which means if they can't lock him down with a bigger deal, Newcastle could swoop in and secure themselves a great left-back for the future.
