I thought Scousers didn’t like The Sun – strange them having the same story then :?
The Sun says:

ALI AL HABSI is on the brink of leaving Bolton for near neighbours Wigan.
The Oman keeper enjoyed an excellent year on loan at the DW Stadium last term.
Latics boss Roberto Martinez had taken his time trying to sort out a permanent deal.
But the £4million move is likely to be concluded within the next 24 hours.
It will represent a good move for all parties, given Al Habsi had little chance of ousting Jussi Jaaskelainen at the Reebok Stadium.
Bolton boss Owen Coyle said: “We could easily have kept him but I have to be fair to Ali.
“It is good business. If that is concluded, we will wish him well.
“He did well at Wigan last year and they have tried to secure his services.”
