Skysports.com can reveal that Blackburn's David Thompson is poised to complete a move to Wigan.
The former Liverpool midfielder has seen his first team opportunities restricted this season and, with just six months remaining on his contract, Rovers are happy to cash in on the 28-year-old.
The Latics are close to concurring on a fee, believed to be in the region of £250,000, for Thompson and the player's agent, Stephen Horner, has revealed the signing may be rushed through in time for the player to feature against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
"Talks [between Blackburn and Wigan] are still on-going but we hope a deal can be reached soon and the deal done by the end of the day," Horner told skysports.com.
A series of impressive performances after a £1.5 million move to Rovers from Coventry in the summer of 2002 immediately earned Thompson an England call-up.
However, the player's career has since been severely disrupted by a succession of knee injuries and Thompson is keen to reignite his career at Rovers' Premiership rivals. |
