Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce has revealed they've been active in the French transfer market in recent weeks.

Bruce said: "We are actively looking. We had Chris Casper, the former Bury manager who is doing some scouting for us at the moment, watching a couple of games in France at the weekend.

"I know every player inside out in the Premier League and would not be doing my job if I didn't know the Championship either.

"But getting a good young player out of clubs here is difficult, so we have to looking at the foreign market.

"That is a realistic place to find players, you've got the attraction of the Premier League to offer them."
