Arsenal, Liverpool to try for Wigan's Rodallega before deadline falls

Wigan Athletic striker Hugo Rodallega could be on the move before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

The Colombia striker is out of contract in the summer and Latics chairman Dave Whelan faces losing him then for nothing.

Boss Roberto Martinez could, therefore, be tempted to accept a fee now in the region of £4million, says the Daily Star Sunday.

Rodallega, 26, cost Wigan £4.5million three years ago from Mexican club Necaxa - and during that time his valuation has doubled.

Meanwhile, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, Stoke City, Sunderland and QPR are all known to be interested in him.
