Leicester City defender Darnell Johnson is on the move.

The Sun says Wigan are signing centre half Johnson from Leicester City – the godson of Latics legend Emile Heskey.

Johnson will be allowed to join John Sheridan on loan time give him first team experience and he will go straight into their side.

The Foxes defender's godfather is Heskey who was a record buy and a star at Wigan in their Premier League heyday.
