Under-pressure Wigan boss Roberto Martinez was happy with the performance against Fulham, but not with the result.

Whilst the Latics created more chances, and arguably dominated the game, they lost to London side Fulham 2-0, with Dempsey and Dembele netting.

The result leaves Wigan rooted to the bottom of the table, but Martine is keen to focus on the positives.

“The stats tell the story. I’m not disappointed with the performance but with our run, the result becomes even more important.

Chelsea striker Franco Di Santo has joined Wigan Athletic on three-year deal. Di Santo, 21, had been linked with a move to the club all summer but the deal was only agreed in the last minutes of the summer transfer window. The Argentina youth international has returned to Lancashire after scoring one goal in 22 Premier League appearances while on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season.

Speaking to the Wigan Athletic’ official website, Di Santo – who made eight first team appearances for Chelsea in two years – expressed his joy at having his future sorted out.

New Wigan Athletic signing, Antolin Alcaraz has been granted his work permit and is now eligible to play in the opening game of the new Premier League season. The Paraguay international has now completed his move to the club on a three-year deal, having signed for the club prior to the World Cup following the expiry of his previous contract with Belgian side Club Brugge.

Wigna manager Roberto Martinez is delighted to have finally netted his man, especially after reports had suggested a bigger club was ready to snap him up following some impressive performances in South Africa.

WITH less than 24 hours before Fabio Capello unveils his World Cup squad, Roberto Martinez believes England will never have a better chance of repeating their 1966 triumph.

The action in South Africa gets underway in just 11 days, and Capello is putting the finishing touches to his 23-man pool of talent.

Scott Sinclair aims to return to Chelsea Football Club next season.

The young forward has been on loan at Wigan Athletic for the 2009-2010 campaign, but he has endured a frustrating time and has started just one time in the Premier League.

He has made a further seventeen appearances from the substitutes bench and has convinced boss Roberto Martinez he is worth an extended stay, but the 21-year-old isn’t so keen.
