Wigan boss Martinez excited about Di Santo form

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is excited about the early season form of Franco di Santo.

Di Santo, 23, is in his third season at Wigan after leaving Chelsea in 2010 and is finally finding his feet, scoring in the first two matches this season.

Wigan boss Martinez said: "Sometimes we're very quick to judge players and when Franco arrived into our country, he was a very young man.

"I always felt Franco had the potential to be one of the best strikers not just in the Premier League, but I think he can be a massive striker for Argentina.

"He's got that potential and at 23, he's got his career in front of him."
