Newcastle United remain keen on Antonee Robinson as left-back transfer options assessed

Newcastle United still hold an interest in Fulham star Antonee Robinson as the club's search for a new left-back continues. The Magpies are keen to strengthen in the full-back department despite Dan Burn's fine season as Eddie Howe's go-to option on the left of the back four.

Robinson has 12 months to run on his Fulham deal and is attracting interest as the Cottagers try to tie him down to a new contract. Chronicle Live understands the USA international could be available for less than £30m if he decides not to extend his stay in west London.

Newcastle first registered an interest in the 25-year-old back in January but will face competition for his signature this summer. Both Milan sides have previously expressed their desire to take Robinson to Italy's top flight, while Manchester City have cast their eye over the player.

Elsewhere, Newcastle may get the chance to sign a Serie A star of their own in the form of Sassuolo full-back Rogerio. The player's representatives are touting their client's services to clubs across Europe after previous interest from the north east outfit.

The Brazilian, 25, was first linked with a move to Newcastle in 2020 and speculation continues to rear its head over a possible deal. Sassuolo are said to want £15m for the left-back this summer.

Other options continue to be assessed as Eddie Howe and Dan Ashworth attempt to kickstart Newcastle's summer window. Speculation emerged over the weekend regarding a shock move for Chelsea full-back Marc Cucurella.

The Spaniard, 24, endured a tough debut campaign at Stamford Bridge but previously proved to be one of the league's best left-backs during his time at Brighton. The Daily Mirror report Cucurella could be available for just £30m this summer and Newcastle have added him to their shortlist.

Kieran Tierney remains a key target too despite Arsenal driving a hard bargain for the Scottish international. The Gunners need first-team players off the books as they plot a major summer revamp. Tierney would command a fee of around £30m-plus but would add vital experience and ability to Newcastle's current crop of talent.

Current Toon left-back Paul Dummett has been offered a new deal on Tyneside, while Matt Targett has hardly put a foot wrong since joining Howe's side from Aston Villa. Burn has also recently extended his deal after activating a one-year extension.
