There is news that Wigan Athletic might consider making a move for their former player Jordi Gomez.
The latter currently plays for Sunderland and may consider leaving the Premier League side during the summer. Indeed, he has been informed by the manager Sam Allardyce that he does not form part of his plan for next season and that he will be better off looking for another club.
Jordi Gomez was a favorite player among the Wigan’s fans, and he will certainly bring some additional quality to a midfield that appeared quite dull in some games. Gomez was supposed to join Wigan Athletic last January, but instead, he chose to play the remaining part of the season with Blackburn Rovers.
With Wigan Athletic having won the promotion to the Championship, the board will be keen to strengthen the team so as to be able to compete. It is believed that the Wigan coach will be given a substantial amount of money in order to bring players that will be able to bring the club upwards. Signing a player such as Jordi Gomez will definitely help to strengthen the team not only in terms of ability but also in terms of experience.
It is also believed that Wigan Athletic might also make a bid for Barnsley player ConorHourihane. The 25-year old player was instrumental in Barnsley’s successful season, and it is reported that there are many clubs that are interested in the player. Wigan is reported to have made inquiries about the player as they attempt to build a side that can mount a serious promotion push.
With a midfield consisting of Jordi Gomez and ConorHourihane, Gary Caldwell will have one of the best midfield of the Championship, and this may help them compete for a play-off place.
