Wigan Athletic and Boca Juniors are leading the chase for Argentine front-man Mauro Boselli.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to Europe, in particular England, a number of times over the past 12 months.
A move has thus far failed to materialise, but a transfer this summer looks likely, with Birmingham and Sunderland known admirers.
Wigan are now thought to have lodged a bid and are further ahead in their interest, but Boca Juniors are also keen for Boselli to return to La Bombonera with new coach Claudio Borghi a big fan.
Indeed Boca already own half of Boselli following two previous spells at the club, as Estudiantes only purchased 50 per cent of the player in 2008.
Now Boca are hopeful of taking him back to Buenos Aires, but agent Barry McIntosh, who has been overseeing Boselli’s negotiations in Britain over the past 18 months, feels a move to the UK is now a distinct possibility.
Don’t know anything about him but his record on Wikipedia says 99 appearances, 76 goals, sounds very promising, 23 year old and over 6 foot.

But Wigan have moved ahead of Sunderland in the race to sign Estudiantes striker Mauro Boselli by increasing their bid beyond the £6m offered by the Black Cats for the Argentina international.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez is chasing Colombian namesake striker Jackson Martinez, who he hopes to team up with fellow countryman Hugo Rodallega at the DW Stadium.
He’s young so he can improve unlike the player were about to sign, Mr. Britton (you no Leon) who is way past his peak – if there ever was one. :mrgreen:He’s only 27, Jesus some people on here, not even signed for us never mind played and they’re already on his back. :roll:

“Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland could also be on the move, to Sunderland, as a replacement for Craig Gordon who has failed to convince manager Steve Bruce he is up to the job.”

Christ Griff, where have you dug that one up from? Must have come from an inside source, hence why it’s not been picked up on….. ;)
And more from the Daily Mail…..
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez, meanwhile, has set his sights on Rangers striker Kris Boyd, Celtic’s Landry N’Guemo and Hamilton’s James McArthur.

Say no more.Just realised that from the opening word in my post, I could easily have turned this into a religious thread agan. I will raise my hands and step back from the keyboard until temptation has passed over.

I think it’s just a typo, I certainly don’t think it’s a reverence thing :? . It’s more along the lines of “Christ, here we go again…”

My dad is called Stan, and amusingly when he was still working, he used to receive letters etc from overseas addressed to Satan.It was a source of constant amusement, especially when the odd Christmas card arrived with ‘Merry Christmas Satan’ or a letter with ‘Satan, hope to see you soon’ on it.
