Sunderland refuse to give up on Wigan's Figueroa

Sunderland refuse to shelve their interest for Wigan Athletic fullback Maynor Figueroa.

Latics boss Steve Bruce signed the Honduras international for Wigan and has been chasing him since August.

It was thought Figueroa's knee injury would put paid to the Black Cats' pursuit.
