DISCUSS YOUR FAVOURITE CLUB, AND THE POSSIBLE SIGNINGS THAT THEY WOULD MAKE, WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN YOUR CLUB, STUFF LIKE THAT, HERE'S THE LATEST TRANSFER NEWS IN THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP.




Arsenal
Latest News:

Beyond signing Aaron Ramsey, and losing Mathieu Flamini, Arsenal have had little action on the transfer market this summer, despite much noise.

But that could soon be set to change, now manager Arsene Wenger has returned from his media and sponsorship commitments at Euro 2008, with 21-year-old Werder Bremen midfielder Amaury Bischoff claiming he is on the verge of completing a long-term deal with the club. The Portugal under-21 player is viewed as a potential replacement for Flamini.

Meanwhile, Alexander Hleb is looking like making a move - he has been linked to both Bayern Munich and Barcelona - as does Emmanuel Adebayor, unless the club shatter their wage ceiling and pay the striker £120,000-a-week.

His expected departure means that there will be a renewed drive to find a suitable replacement. A number of strikers have been linked with the club this summer, including Real Mallorca's David Guiza, Germany's Mario Gomez and Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz. Should they fail, Newcastle's Obafemi Martins could be a backup, although Arsenal seem unwilling to match his £15 million price tag. Peter Crouch has also emerged as a surprise alternative.

Portuguese youngster Diogo has reportedly been lined up, but an initial approach of £6 million was turned down. The striker’s club, Portuguesa, are looking for at least double that amount. Meanwhile another Portuguese is being linked with Arsenal, reports suggesting that the club have joined the race to sign Miguel Veloso from Sporting Lisbon. Veloso's agent has confirmed that Arsenal have added their name to the list of clubs after the player.

As for the £12.5 million signing of attacking midfielder Samir Nasri from Marseille, Arsenal expect to complete the transfer now that the European Championships are over.

Aston Villa
Latest News:

Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson will be an Aston Villa player by the end of the week according to reports. Spurs are waiting to rubber-stamp the signing of Huerelho Gomes from PSV first and Villa have prepared a £5 million bid for the England goalkeeper after deciding not to take up their option to turn Scott carson's loan deal into a permanent signing from Liverpool. West Ham's Robert Green could be a slightly more expensive alternative at £6 million.

Another signing Villa are chasing from Tottenham is out-of-favour striker Darren Bent. Bent would be available at a cut-price fee from his original £16million move from Charlton last summer but Villa must join the long queue looking to sign him first.

The biggest Aston Villa story of the summer keeps on going although Gareth Barry's move to Liverpool, still seems no nearer to conclusion as the two clubs are unable to agree a fee despite the player saying he has no future at Villa Park. While manager Martin O'Neill has said that the England international can leave,Villa have continued to reject Liverpool's proposals, and are now holding out for £18 million.

Major signings are also proving elusive for Villa this summer. Steve Sidwell is believed to have agreed to join from Chelsea in a £5.5 million deal, although the 25-year-old midfielder has not yet signed on the dotted line.

Valencia defender Miguel is an outside bet to sign for Villa. Miguel will be an ideal replacement for Olof Mellberg who has moved to Juventus, and following Valencia's terrible season the Spanish club need to bring in some fast cash. David Villa's performances at Euro 2008 could convince the club to sell other players so as to retain his services, so Miguel could be cut from the squad as a result.

Less likely arrivals are Blackburn's David Bentley and Newcastle winger James Milner. They face competition for both players, while their respective clubs are doing everything they can to hold on to them.

Blackburn Rovers
Latest News:

Paul Ince's appointment has had little effect on the transfer rumours surrounding Roque Santa Cruz and David Bentley. Santa Cruz has been linked with Manchester United, who are hoping to sign the striker using Louis Saha as a bargaining chip, while Manchester City are also expected to make a play now that Mark Hughes has been installed as manager.

Bentley, meanwhile, is looking headed for White Hart Lane, despite Spurs' offer of £15 million being rejected recently. Tottenham have reportedly been contemplating offering Aaron Lennon as a sweetener, but there have been no major developments of late. Should Bentley leave, Blackburn will look to replace him with Wolves' Michael Kightly, despite the Championship player recently committing himself to Molineux, signing a new contract to 2012.

Regarding signings, Blackburn are said to be looking to strengthen their defence by bringing in Newcastle United defender Abdoulaye Faye. The club's interest in Espanyol's Albert Riera, Marc Torrejon, and striker Ferran Corominas seems to have gone cold.

Bolton Wanderers
Latest News:

There is some speculation that Bolton are planning to bring Joey Barton to the club, as his relationship with Newcastle remains sour. However, St James' Park seem reluctant to sack the midfielder.

Toulouse striker Johan Elmander and Birmingham midfielder Fabrice Muamba have been added to the fold, while Sporting Lisbon's Miguel Veloso is being followed. Bolton have been informed by the Portuguese club that they will have to pay £16 million for the player, and with Arsenal waiting in the wings this prospect seems like wishful thinking.

The club are looking more likely to bring in Sean Geddes, the Walsall youngster. Apparently, Newcastle and Blackburn also want the midfielder but the 16-year-old chose to train with Gary Megson's team earlier in June.

Megson has also stressed that striker El-Hadji Diouf will not be released at a cut price, despite the 27-year-old insisting that he intends to leave the Reebok stadium.

Chelsea
Latest News:

Roman Abramovich is determined to rebuild Chelsea as champions this season and is willing to offer Liverpool a world record transfer fee of £85 million to entice Euro 2008 winner Fernando Torres to help them challenge on all fronts, paying whatever it takes to sign the world class Spain striker.

Beyond Jose Bosingwa (signed for £16.2 million), summer in West London has been more about speculation than confirmation.

But Deco, the Barcelona midfielder, joins his international team-mate Boswingwa, becoming Luiz Felipe Scolari's first signing at the club after he completed a £7.9 million swicth to Stamford Bridge.Andrei Arshavin's Euro 2008 performances, have earned him acclaim from Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich who is eager to land his Russian compatriot. Should rumours linking Chelsea with Rafael van der Vaart, the Hamburg and Holland midfielder, be proved true, Arshavin could be out of the frame altogether especially if Frank Lampard stays.

David Villa is another who impressed Roman Abramovich with his displays at Euro 2008. Chelsea have made their interest known, but the striker has intimated that he is quite happy to stay at Valencia this summer, despite earlier reports he was ready to move to the Premier League. Other big names include Real Madrid's Robinho, who is looking to improve on his £30,000-a-week wages, FC Porto's Ricardo Quaresma, as well as Frank Ribery and Samuel Eto'o.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba both seem set on teaming up with Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan after the former Chelsea manager included the pair on his 'Top Three Players Ever' list. Reports in France suggested that Lampard had agreed terms with Inter after Mourinho personally assumed control of the transfer negotiations. However, the midfielder's agent and sources close to Chelsea ridiculed the story.

Similar sources have denied that Claude Makelele has signed a one-year contract extension, fuelling speculation that the defensive midfielder is considering a move to Paris Saint Germain.

Everton
Latest News:

Everton have as yet made no signings this summer, despite being linked with a number of players. However, action could soon be forthcoming, as the club are going head-to-head with Rangers for the signature of Slavia Prague defender Marek Suchy, as well as entertaining a move for Pablo Aimar, the Argentine international.

Manchester City's 20-year-old midfield playmaker Michael Johnson is being considered by Everton, who are planning a £4 million move for American midfielder Michael Bradley. Interest has also been made known to Spanish international Joaquin, and his club Valencia.

The rest of David Moyes' targets this summer seem far-fetched. The ambitious manager hoped to perform a coup by signing Aaron Ramsay earlier in June, but the midfielder signed for Arsenal. Moyes apparently wants to bring in Sporting Lisbon's £16 million-rated Joao Moutinho, but his ability to do so looks doubtful as he once again faces stiff competition from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Moreover, Everton's £6 million move for Dutch midfielder Orlando Engelaar could be put asunder by German club Schalke, just as their £3 million offer for out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Steve Sidwell seems destined for failure thanks to Aston Villa.

Finally, the club have dismissed reports of a move for Tottenham forward Darren Bent as "rubbish".

Fulham
Latest News:

Fulham have been so far been the most active in this summer's transfer window, although little money has changed hands (five departures and four arrivals has brought just one fee).

That could change, however, with Reading's Dave Kitson being lined up for £2.5 million, and Liverpool's Steve Finnan looking set for a return for around £2 million. Rangers's forward Kris Boyd is another target. Croatia central defender Josip Simunic could also be a possibility, although it appears that an imminent move is out of the question after the player demanded more time to consider his future.

Lee Cook and goalkeeper Kasey Keller have been linked with moves away from the club. QPR seem interested in Cook, while Keller might move to Bayern Munich if his contract is not renewed this summer.

Hull City
Latest News:

Hull are among three clubs monitoring developments at Rangers with a view to signing the Glasgow club's forward Kris Boyd. Cardiff and Fulham are the other hopefuls and the former have already had a £2.5 million bid rejected.

Hull City are competing with Championship side Sheffield United for the signature of Plymouth's 28-year-old Peter Halmosi. The £3 million-rated Hungary international has reportedly been targeted by both clubs.

Phil Brown had been confident of winning the race to sign Frenchman Bernard Mendy, a free agent who left Paris Saint-Germain this month. Mendy boasts three France caps and has already had offers from clubs in Germany and Italy. However, it now appears that the right-back has been given another option, with Werder Bremen also moving for the player.

Liverpool
Latest News:

While talks with Aston Villa have reached a temporary standstill over Gareth Barry (they have told Villa that their latest bid of £17 million will be their final offer), Liverpool have expressed an interest in Spurs' striker Robbie Keane, attempting to lure him away from White Hart Lane with a Peter Crouch-plus-cash deal. Spurs are reluctant to lose the Irishman, though.

Andrea Dossena's arrival could be followed by Danish teenager Nikola Saric, while the undisputed star striker of Euro 2008, David Villa, is apparently considering teaming up with fellow Spaniards Rafa Benitez and Fernando Torres at Anfield, despite Benitez insisting he is not currently a Liverpool target.

Spanish international winger Albert Riera is on the wish-list, although a deal is proving hard to nail down, especially since his club Espanyol turned down a £9.5 million offer for the player. Just as unlikely is a £6 million move for Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner.

Xabi Alonso will likely disappear in the direction of John Arne Riise and Harry Kewell with a move to Italy, and join Juventus - with the Italian club expected, after some deliberation, to meet Liverpool's £16.5 million asking price.

Also, Peter Crouch's price tag could be under review, the consensus formed by a number of clubs interested in the England forward being that £10 million is too steep. Steve Finnan, whose place in the first team has been undermined by the arrival of Philipp Degen, is being tracked by Aston Villa and West Brom.

Manchester City
Latest News:

Manchester City continue to labour towards signing Ronaldinho from Barcelona, with executive chairman Garry Cook pulling all of the Nike strings at hand to secure a deal. Alas, Chelsea have added the former World Player of the Year to their potential shopping list, and AC Milan, thought to have withdrawn from the race, could return to the bidding should their attempt to sign Emmanuel Adebayor fail.

City could also be out of luck where Zenit St Petersburg striker Andrei Arshavin is concerned. The club were alerted to his promise after watching him perform at the Uefa Cup final, held at Eastlands. Regrettably for City, they failed to secure his signature, and have been forced to watch Arshavin's stock sky-rocket as Euro 2008 progressed. Chelsea and Barcelona are just two of the clubs now desperate to sign the Russian.

Bayern Munich's Lukas Podolski, who opened Germany's Euro 2008 campaign with a brace against Poland, is another to have been linked with a move to Eastlands. He would likely cost City up to £15 million, but competition from Tottenham could push the price higher.

On a brighter note, the third party ownership complications surrounding CSKA Moscow striker Jo's move to the club are all but resolved according to reports, which suggest that the £18 million deal should go through within days.

Finally, City's Swedish goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson is being targeted by Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

Manchester United
Latest News:

The Cristiano Ronaldo saga rolls on, with Manchester United as intent on keeping the Portuguese as Real Madrid are desperate to sign him. One of the many scenarios put about is that United will demand Sergio Ramos and Robinho in return for the winger, but only if Sir Alex Ferguson gives the green light.

One player who will not be involved in a Ronaldo swap, however, is Wesley Sneijder. The Holland and Real Madrid midfielder has dismissed rumours that he could be used as a makeweight in a potential deal for Ronaldo. "In short, I'm flattered to be linked to Manchester United, but it's not happening. End of story," Sneijder stated on his website.

For his part Ferguson continues to refuse to be drawn on Ronaldo's future, but he has said that he will sign just one player this summer.

That player could be Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov for a fee of £23 million. The Bulgaria international has long been admired at Old Trafford and is desperate to leave White Hart Lane although Juande Ramos is understood to be holding out for at least £30 million before he sanctions the move.

Less speculation and sensation surrounds the expected departure of Louis Saha, who will in all probability be sent out on loan to Roma this summer, although the Italian club will likely sign the striker on a permanent deal in due course.

In his place, and by way of reinforcing his attacking line-up, Ferguson is believed to be considering a bid for Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz, or even £15 million-rated striker Falcao, should signing Berbatov prove elusive.

Micah Richards, and Sevilla's Brazilian Luis Fabiano, continue to be linked with the club.

Middlesbrough
Latest News:

Middlesbrough hope to get their reinforcement programme off to a start with the signing of Didier Digard from Paris St Germain but his proposed move has hit complications with the French outfit demanding they receive a one-off £5million fee opposed to the offered structured deal as they are desperate to secure liquid assets to improve a financial crisis at the club.

With the deal for Digard now looking uncertain, Gareth Southgate has turned his sights towards Sparta Rotterdam winger Martin Emnes, for a fee of around £2.6million.

Heerenveen's American midfielder Michael Bradley remains a potential target while Boro are also considering a move for Wolves' goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey and Newcastle's £6 million striker Alan Smith.

George Boateng , meanwhile, could be heading back to Holland, with Steve McClaren keen to make the midfielder one of his first signings for FC Twente.

Finally, Gareth Southgate has issued a hands-off warning to Liverpool over Stewart Downing, who is apparently "not for sale".

Newcastle United
Latest News:

Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan is ready to make Switzerland striker Eren Derdiyok his first signing of his second stint at the club but has told FC Basel to drop their asking price for the 20-year-old player as he is not willing to do business at £6million.

Another fee Kegan has reportedly bulked at is the £4.5million price quoted by Championship club Birmingham City for 23-year-old Sweden international Sebastian Larsson.

But the need for midfield reinforcement is apparent at St James' Park with Argentinian international Pablo Aimar, is being lined up as a £4 million replacement for Emre who is returning to Turkey, while Newcastle are attempting to convince Tottenham to part with Aaron Lennon, with the winger reportedly keen a move to St James' Park. Lennon could be joined in Newcastle by Spurs team-mate, and £4 million target Michael Dawson.

The club are also in a three-way race to sign Orlando Engelaar, the FC Twente player who gave solidity to Holland’s midfield at Euro 2008. Everton are also interested though it appears German club Schalke are leading the race having agreed personal terms with the player.

Newcastle are said to have shown interest in Le Mans midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, and Kevin Keegan's hand could be forced by Middlesbrough if he is truly interested in Paris Saint Germain's France Under-21 international Didier Digard, whose move to Teesside has seemingly broken down after the French club demanded then entirity of his £5million transfer fee up front.

Shola Ameobi is wanted by West Brom and Norwich, and could leave the Magpies for around £3.5 million. Newcastle have rejected an offer from Liverpool for winger James Milner, revealing that they were offered three "non-entities" in return. Instead they will demand at least £9 million.

Portsmouth
Latest News:

Harry Redknapp is hoping to tempt Yossi Benayoun from Liverpool but admits his pursuit of Peter Crouch could be doomed with the Anfield club holding out for too much money.

Reading left-back Nicky Shorey could be an easier player to land. Redknapp has been looking to sign him since the end of the season, and looks to be closer to securing the player in a £3 million deal. A more imminent signing should be 18-year-old Strasbourg midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, for £1.2 million.

Reading's Glen Little has signed for Portsmouth on a one-year contract, while Spurs defender Younes Kaboul could be hot on his heels in a £2 million deal.

Portsmouth have made a move for Panathinaikos' Brazilian midfielder Marcelo Mattos, matching the 24-year-old's £5.9 million release clause. They are also looking to plunder Chelsea for Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge and, surprisingly, Israeli striker Ben Sahar this summer.

Stoke City
Latest News:

The Premier League new-boys have been linked with a £2million move for West Ham and Wales defender Daniel Gabbidon. The 28-year-old made few appearances at Upton Park last season in a campaign blighted with injuries and with West Ham keen to trim their laqrge squad down, the former Cardiff City player could make way.

Manchester City's out-of-contract striker Emile Mpenza is another target for Tony Pulis, but the Britannia boss faces competition from Cardiff and Ipswich in the Championship.

Celtic midfielder Thomas Gravesen could be incoming after being told he is free to leave his Glasgow club - as long as his wage demands do not obstruct a move. Stoke are also set to complete the £2 million signing of Tottenham defender Anthony Gardner, according to reports.

Stoke have been linked with Rangers striker Lee McCulloch, while the club are also said to be in talks with Fulham about turning Gabriel Zakuani's loan into a more permanent deal.

Reading defender Ibrahima Sonko as another target, as is Valenciennes defender Abdeslam Ouaddou , who has revealed that he is open to a move back to England after being linked with a move to newly-promoted Stoke. The 29-year-old has previously played with Fulham, and with Newcastle and Middlesbrough also thought to be keen on the Moroccan, a return looks likely. "Any player in the world would consider playing in the Premier League," he said.

Sunderland
Latest News:

Roy Keane has been told that it will cost him £10 million to bring Darren Bent to Sunderland. Spurs are willing to sell the striker as he has failed to make an impact after signing for £16 million last year. An alternative to Bent could be Sheffield United's James Beattie, who would surely snatch the chance at a return to the Premier League. However, that is looking less likely now they have offered £10 million for Everton's Andrew Johnson.

Keane could be given £50 million to build on his squad after axing many of last year's players, with Aiden McGeady expected to be the first major signing. Keane could offer Celtic £10 million for the player. Sunderland will also reportedly offer West Ham £3 million for their unhappy winger Luis Boa Morte.

Keane is determined to keep Kenwyne Jones at Sunderland having knocked back interest from Liverpool. Rafa Benitez is rumoured to be prepared to pay £10 million for the striker, but Keane is determined to keep him at the Stadium of Light. Jones has only been at Sunderland for one season but has impressed Keane enormously. The Irish manager described him as "the best striker in the division."

Sunderland have joined the race with Celtic and Tottenham to sign Middlesbrough midfielder George Boateng. The Dutchman almost moved to White Hart Lane in January but the deal fell through when Didier Zokora refused a move the other way. Meanwhile, Keane is relishing another battle with Celtic and Middlesbrough over West Ham's Carlton Cole, with Sunderland said to be heading the charge for the former England Under-21 striker.

Tottenham Hotspur
Latest News:

Radio reports have suggested that Tottenham are on the verge of unveiling Blackburn's David Bentley as their latest acquisition. Bentley has been a prime target for manager Juande Ramos for some time, particularly with the Spaniard keen to re-vamp his midfield after tying down Croatia's Luka Modric and Tom Huddlestone to long-term deals at the north London club.

Spurs will reluctantly demand a player-plus-cash exchange deal from Liverpool, should their captain Robbie Keane be tempted by a move to Merseyside. Ramos wants £5million and Peter Crouchbefore they even consider any approach from Anfield for the Irish striker.

Meanwhile, Ramos has ordered the club's board to hold out for at least £30million for Dimitar Berbatov to the subject of interest for Manchester United, although at that price it is £7million more than the original offer Sir Alex Ferguson was ready to lodge.

Tottenham are understood to have been approached by Aston Villa in a bid to sign Paul Robinson for £5 million. Spurs will likely accept the deal as long as the transfer of PSV's Heurelho Gomes goes through without difficulty.

The hoped-for signing of Sevilla winger Diego Capel has hit a snag after the Spanish club rejected an offer of £12.5 million, which discredits reports suggesting that the player had an £11.5 million buy-out clause. Spurs could now look to sweeten the deal by offering Kevin Prince Boateng in return.

As well as David Bentley, for whom Spurs could offer Blackburn Hossan Ghaly and Aaron Lennon plus cash, Tottenham are understood to be looking to sign Real Zaragoza’s £10 million striker Diego Milito.

West Bromwich Albion
Latest News:

West Brom look set to complete a £3.5 million deal to sign Aston Villa striker Luke Moore, as well as bringing in Newcastle's Shola Ameobi and Swansea's Ferrie Bodde.

Derby County have announced that they have reached an agreement to sign the Baggies out-of-contract defender Martin Albrechtsen but manager Tony Mowbray has pledged to bring in an immediate replacement with £3million rated Mark Beevers rumoured to be his preference. The Sheffield Wednesday centre-back is believed to have attracted the attention of scouts from Manchester United, Cheslea and Newcastle but Mowbray is thought to be leading the chase for the rising star.

Elsewhere, according to Danish daily newspaper Ekstra Bladet, FC Copenhagen 'keeper Jesper Christiansen will join the Baggies for their return to the Premier League. South Korean international Kim Do-Heon, who has been on loan at the club since January, will sign a permanent deal.

Portsmouth have moved to sign highly-rated West Bromwich Albion player James Hurst for an undisclosed fee. The 16-year-old is an England youth international and he has accepted the offer to move to Fratton Park. "He is a promising right-back who our recruitment officer Alan Miller chased rigorously," said Pompey's academy coach Ian Woan. "He's got a lot of work to do but he can handle a football, he's quick and he's intelligent. We're all looking forward to with working with him."

West Ham United
Latest News:

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is hoping to make Kevin Doyle his first summer signing from relegated Reading in £7.5million deal.

However, reports suggest highly-rated Icelandic teenager Holmar Orn Eyjolfsson will be the first to be unveiled at Upton Park after the versatile defensive midfielder initially spent a successful week-long trial at the club in February.

Striker Dean Ashton, who has signed a new five-year, £50,000 a week contract, could also be paired with Andrew Johnson, with Curbishley ready to prise him away from Everton with a £9.5million offer.

Barcelona's Eidur Gudjohnsen is being linked with a move to West Ham, and a return to the Premier League, for £5 million. It is understood that his relationship with Icelandic owner Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson has convinced him to move to West Ham, although the East End outfit face competition from Portsmouth and Newcastle to secure the players services.

The club also look set to land Palermo midfielder Mark Bresciano for £4 million, and are weighing up the possibility of moving for Manchester United's Louis Saha and Bolton winger El-Hadji Diouf.

Finally, Alan Curbishley's interest in £3.5 million rated Wolves winger Michael Kightley appears to have dilapidated after the player committed his future to the Championship club by signing a new four-year contract to end speculation.

Wigan Athletic
Latest News:

Wigan manager Steve Bruce has completed a reunion with former Dutch Under-21 international Daniel de Ridder. Bruce signed the player for Birmingham last summer but after the manager's departure the winger struggled to hold down a starting berth at St Andrews under Alex McLeish. The Championship club subsequently cancelled the player's three-year contract, paving the way for a free transfer to the JJB Stadium.

Bruce will not pursue his interest in Croatia striker Ivan Klasnic, however, amid concerns about the player's health. Instead, he is reportedly close to signing Paraguay striker Salvador Cabanas, who is the currently the South American Player of the Year.

Newcastle's Charles N'Zogbia is being linked with a £3.5 million move to Wigan, while Josip Skoko and Salomon Olembe have both been told that they will not have their contracts renewed at the end of the season. Emilie Heskey could also be set to leave after being linked with FA Cup winners Portsmouth.

Wigan are after striker Amr Zaki, but they have been told that they will not learn if their offer of bringing the player in on loan has been accepted for another month. Zaki currently plays for Egyptian club Zamalek.

Bruce is rumoured to be offering Cardiff's Peter Whittingham a ticket back to the Premiership. The former Aston Villa midfielder has been widely impressive during Cardiff's journey to the FA Cup final, he carries a price tag of £2m. Ricardo Gardner, currently at Bolton, has also been connected with the club.

Hendry Thomas, a defensive midfielder from Honduras currently playing for Olimpia, could sign a three-year deal with Wigan this summer. Bruce confirmed his club are looking to sign the player. "John Benson [Wigan's general manager] is in Honduras at the moment trying to tie someone up for us," Bruce said. "We've got an iron in the fire."
