South Africa star Siphiwe Tshabalala has spoken of his desire to play his trade in Europe, with Wigan a possible destination.
Just got word from a friend who works for DW fitness in Belfast…He said that DW is making the kit with the mi fit brand…
Simply out with the players that don’t intend on giving 100% everytime they stick on the shirt and get in some players who intend playing for Wigan Athletic!
Wigan Athletic are reportedly casting their eyes over Cameroon striker Pierre Webo again.
Webo was a target for Roberto Martinez in the previous transfer window but that interest did not extend to a solid bid for the player as he opted for Marcelo Moreno instead.
Webo has been capped 43 times for his country and is currently plying his trade at Mallorca, having previously played for Real Banjul, Nacional, Leganes and Osasuna.
Premier League rivals West Bromwich Albion are also believed to be ready to pounce.
Martin Canning admits Hamilton are still bracing themselves for James McArthur’s departure this summer even though he has yet to be snapped up.
Speculation has long surrounded the future of the highly-rated midfielder, with Leeds United the most recent club to be linked with a player who has also reportedly caught the eye of West Brom, Wigan and Rangers.
Accies risk losing McArthur, 22, for nothing next summer if he does not seal a move elsewhere.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez admits his side’s Premier League opener against promoted Blackpool will be “a big challenge”.
The Seasiders clinched a return to the top flight for the first time since 1971 with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Cardiff in the play-off final at Wembley last month.
Martinez told the Wigan Observer: “It’s a tough start. Blackpool will be full of fire for their first game in the Premier League and it’s going to be a big challenge for us – but one we will relish.
“It’ll be a sell-out crowd and probably have the feel of a cup tie, so it will be our job to rise to that challenge and come away with the right result.”
