Wigan target Diego Placente

Reports coming out of Spain suggest that Latics manager, Chris Hutchings is set to sign Celta Vigo and Argentina left back Diego Placente for just over £1 million

Placente was recently linked with a move to Rangers but nothing came of this and he remains a Celta Vigo player

The Argentinean joined the Spanish club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2005 where he had enjoyed 4 years and played 133 times for the German club

Placente, who is 30, started his career of at Argentinos Juniors before moving onto River Plate and then from there to Leverkusen

Left back is one area in the Latics team that needs addressing urgently and an Argentina international might just fit the bill

Is it panic stations in the left back department?
