Wigan boss Martinez: West Brom striker Odemwingie would arrive not as Rodallega replacement

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez insist a move for West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie is not with a view to selling Arsenal target Hugo Rodallega.

Martinez was asked about their failed bid for Odemwingie after the 1-1 draw with Norwich City.

Martinez said: "No, it would be an addition.

"I don't know what players we are going to bring in, that is the reality, although I know exactly what we need from a character point of view.

"But having lost Cleverley and N'Zogbia, we are two bodies light.

"We need to bring two players in and that is where as a football club we are working extremely hard."
