Preston accept bid from Premier League club for Ireland forward Robinson

The 24-year-old looks set for a move to England’s top flight.

PRESTON NORTH END have accepted a bid from an unnamed Premier League club for Callum Robinson. 

The Championship outfit are currently on a pre-season training camp at Fota Island, having played Cork City in a friendly on Monday night. 

Ireland forward Robinson didn’t feature that night, and, according to a Preston statement released this afternoon, he has been given permission to leave Cork in order to discuss terms and undertake a medical ahead of a proposed transfer. 

An Aston Villa youth product, Robinson scored 13 goals for the Lilywhites last season — finishing their top scorer — despite missing four months due to a hamstring injury.

Having made his senior debut for the Boys in Green 12 months ago, the former England U20 international has gone on to earn eight caps for Ireland.  

He has been linked with moves to Bournemouth, Sheffield United and former club Villa in the past.

    Silva went off injured last night as well. My fantasy football team is falling apart.

    Sky says its a month. Aguero is one player who shouldn’t be playing and international football outside of major tournaments.

    the Liverpool club and fans get excited far to quickly. he could barely do it in the bundesliga with a world class team so how will he do it with average leftover players in a top league. it really is baffling tbh

    Matt also implies here that Germany is not a top league. Silly Matt.

    You can criticise Liverpool while still accepting the reality that their manager has a more than decent record.

    Louis Van Gaal also had a bad time at Barcelona the second best team of all time.. For 6 seasons Dortmund were 50/50 with Bayern..

    This proves my point , Matt clearly stated yesterday that’s he’s a Chelsea fan but because he winds up the bitters he’s automatically classed as a Manu fan ! Now there’s something familiar about that ……

    Money Justin. Where did those players go when they left? Bayern- gotze & lewandowski, Kagawa – Utd, sahin- Liverpool, and the fella whose name I can’t remember went to Real Madrid. All places where the money is much better than Dortmund

    So in other words it not going to matter what he does or wins at Liverpool cause if someone offers to pay players more money they will leave.

    Poor Danno, you must be devastated. I’m sure United will win a game again soon so you can go back to tipping them for the league, but you might have to wait until after Crystal Place away.
