Robles is keen to stay in England and would even drop to the Championship for regular football.

However, his chances of securing a move before this week’s transfer window took a dent due to No1 Jordan Pickford’s injury.

The 23-year-old, signed from Sunderland in the summer, has withdrawn from the England squad.

He sustained a muscular injury in the 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday.

Pickford will now miss the World Cup qualifiers against Mata and Slovakia.

A Football Association statement read: “Having reported to St George’s Park on Sunday evening, the 23-year-old underwent an assessment on a muscle injury sustained playing for his club.
