The January transfer window has officially kicked off with Arsenal's promising young defender, Josh Robinson, making a significant move to League One side Wigan Athletic. The 20-year-old talent has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal, marking an exciting new chapter in his career.
Robinson has stood out at Arsenal's Hale End academy, showcasing his skills and earning a spot on the first-team bench for several Champions League matches this season. Despite his connection to Arsenal, Robinson is eager to embrace the opportunities at Wigan. He expressed his excitement, saying, "I am very excited to start my journey here. It’s a very big football club, and I look forward to seeing what the season holds. They were interested in me, and when you see a big club like Wigan, you cannot turn that opportunity down."
Reflecting on his journey, Robinson added, "I’ve been at Arsenal for a long time, and coming out of the academy into a first-team environment is a big step, but I feel like I am ready to take it. It’s a big decision, but I thought why not take the leap of faith, and hopefully, everything will go well. I am very excited to get going."
Wigan, currently 16th in League One, is optimistic about Robinson's addition to their squad. Manager Shaun Maloney spoke highly of Robinson's dedication and versatility, stating, "We have been monitoring Josh for quite some time, and I am thrilled that he is now a player for Wigan Athletic. Moving here was a significant decision for him, but Josh is excited and motivated about our vision for the club in the coming seasons. He is an extremely dedicated defender who excels in one-on-one situations and possesses strengths in attacking areas as well. I look forward to working with Josh to help him and the club achieve our goals."
As Wigan looks to climb the League One standings, Robinson's arrival brings fresh energy and determination to the team. His journey from Arsenal's academy to Wigan's first team is a testament to his talent and drive, and fans are eagerly anticipating his impact on the pitch.
