Wigan's McArthur left in 'limbo' as Leicester move collapses

James McArthur's proposed move from Wigan to Leicester is off, says Latics boss Uwe Rosler. Wigan had accepted an offer, believed to be around £7m, for the 26-year-old Scotland midfielder but Rosler claims the two clubs did not agree the pay structure of the deal.

The German told BBC Radio 5 live: "He had already said goodbye to everybody at the club."

"The chairman made a decision to accept a bid from Leicester in terms of valuation but we didn't accept the pay structure," said Rosler. "Then Leicester left James McArthur in limbo.

"It's very difficult for us to understand. I feel sorry for James. I think James got used in a way. We and James have to live with that. Now we have to make sure we get James right again."
