West Ham’s James Collins is not a consistent performer for the Football League Championship club as he has made less than 12 appearances for the club in this season and this could allow Wigan Athletic on making a move for the Welsh midfielder.
The head coach of Wigan Athletic, Uwe Rosler is fan of the playing style of Collins and his lack of playing time is a good motivation for him to make a move away from West Ham and go somewhere he can get more time on the playing fields.
Collins has already represented the Wales national team as he made a substitute appearance during a friendly match against Ireland but he will need to get much more playing time with his club if he wants to get more consideration and importance for his national team.
It remains unclear if Wigan have already launched an offer or made a bid for Collins but it is expected to be done in the near future. The 25 years old Welsh midfielder has a contract with West Ham that expires at the end of the season and it is unlikely that he would want to extend his stay with a club where he barely gets any playing time which means that Uwe Rosler’s Wigan Athletic have a chance of not only signing him on a loan deal but instead on a permanent basis.
Only after 25 days had passed since Ryan Tunnicliffe signed for Fulham, he transferred to Wigan Athletic on a loan deal until the end of the current campaign mainly serving as cover for Ben Watson who suffered from a broken leg injury.
“Ryan is a very promising prospect player who has experience in the Championship, and after we lost Ben, I am delighted we have got someone who is so football-educated, having come through the ranks at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. He is a different type of player from Ben but will definitely add a new dimension to us.” Uwe Rosler said after signing the 21 years old midfielder.
