Wigan Athletic must cough up for Velez Sarsfield defender Waldo Ponce.
The versatile defender is available from Velez Sarsfield for a bargain £300,000 as his contract with the Argentine side is running down.
The 27-year-old Chile international is keen to secure first-team football in the run-up to the World Cup after playing in about half of Velez's games this year.
"Maybe it's time to leave Velez," said Ponce. "I have a score to settle, which is to play in Europe. I just turned 27 and maybe it's time to settle this debt."
