Wigan close on Diop deal

Latics boss Paul Jewell is desperate to bolster his squad in this month’s transfer window as he looks to arrest their slump in form.

Jewell admitted he had agreed a deal with a club for a mystery player and is hoping to know if his swoop will be successful as early as Monday.

Fulham boss Chris Coleman hinted last week he could be willing to let Diop leave and it appears the Senegal ace could be on his way to the JJB Stadium.
