Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is planning a £4 million bid for Hibs striker Steven Fletcher.
The Scottish Sun says Martinez has a glowing scouting report on the Hibs hitman.
Chief Latics spy John Benson watched Fletch in four post-split games last term.
Now the Spaniard is pondering whether or not to take on Celtic boss Tony Mowbray for the 22-year-old.
Martinez, who almost landed the Celts job, is close to sealing a £1.7m deal for Hoops target Jordi Gomez.
He had the midfielder on loan at Swansea last term and has agreed terms with La Liga side Espanyol.
Now he'll turn his attentions to a striker with Benson pushing the claims of Fletcher, despite ex-Wigan boss Steve Bruce deciding he did not want him.
