Wigan to double Figueroa wages to ward off Sunderland

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is ready to hand Maynor Figueroa new deal.

The Mirror says Martinez wants to stuff Steve Bruce's Sunderland by giving left-back Figueroa a lucrative new deal.

Martinez slammed Bruce and Figueroa's agents for unsettling the player after the Latics boss turned down a bid for the star defender.

And now Martinez has put a new deal on the table for Figueroa which would almost double his salary and keep him out of the clutches of the Black Cats.
