According to Sky Sports News, the player’s agent Tony Finnegan, has confirmed to them that the player has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at Wigan, after passing a medical and agreeing personal terms.
Wigan were rumoured to be interested at the beginning of the week and were part of a handful of Premiership clubs with an apparent interest him. We’re alleged to have made a £1.5m bid, alongside Nottingham Forest and West Brom, all of which were turned down and it seems like Wigan were prepared to pay a fee of £2.5million to seal the deal.
The writing was on the wall really, after Palace boss Neil Warnock insisted he’d be going to a Premiership club, because of all the things he is, Warnock’s generally not a bullsh*tter. The move was expected to go through quickly, with the emphasis on the administrators trying to ease Palace’s financial burdens and it’s likely that more assets will leave before the end of the window.
There was a lot made of this young fella amid all the speculation and in truth, I’ve seen very little of him but he certainly seems very highly thought of. It’s quite clear to most fans that we’re missing a cutting edge at the moment and perhaps Moses could have been part of the solution? It looks like it’s a moot point now as we just await official confirmation of it on either the Palace or Wigan websites.
Can Andy Caroll be a defender?
