Man City keen on Wigan keeper Al-Habsi

Manchester City are eyeing Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi.

The Mirror says Al Habsi is on the radar of the deposed champions, whose current no.2 Costel Pantilimon is set to quit the club.

Pantilimon wants to leave the Etihad after two seasons in search of first-team football.

And Al Habsi is being considered as a signing who can give England keeper Joe Hart more competition, with relegation favourites Wigan believed to be resigned to losing him if they do go down.
