Wigan chairman Whelan moves to block Liverpool push for Rodallega

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has warned Liverpool off star striker Hugo Rodallega.

Rodallega was linked with Liverpool in the Sunday press.

But Whelan told the Wigan Evening Post that Rodallega is an important part of the club's plans.

He said: "We'll be talking to Hugo when he gets back from the Copa America, and as far as I know he's happy here. We'd like him to stay.

"We've not had an offer in for Hugo, and I would imagine Roberto Martinez will be keen to get something sorted on that one. We do not want to be selling him, though - absolutely not."
