Coyle still wants new Wigan additions

Owen Coyle is determined to bring some fresh faces into his Wigan Athletic squad.

Some key Latics players continue to be linked with a move away from DW Stadium but Coyle says he intends to keep everybody he can whilst bringing in one or two more quality names.

"We know that rival clubs are more than aware of the quality we have at this football club," Coyle told Wigan Today after his side opened their Championship campaign with a 4-0 win at Barnsley on Saturday.

"All I can do as a manager is prepare them for the games and concentrate on that. Everything else is out of our control, but we still haven't even had an enquiry for any of our players let alone a firm bid.

"As a manager, I am comfortable with that but, like anything else, we are always looking to plan ahead.

"And I am looking to add to the squad, not dismantle it.

"We're chasing one very good player as we speak. Whether we're able to get him in remains to be seen, but I'm certainly not finished adding to the quality we have here."
