Transfer talk and squad news
Winter is the busiest time for the transfer market, and Wigan has been active. The club confirmed the signing of midfield dynamo Liam O'Connor from Celtic on a three‑year deal. O'Connor brings energy and a good eye for a pass, which should help the team create more chances.
