Wigan Athletic may go Egyptian again as they seek a replacement for Emile Heskey in January.

The Manchester Evening News says Wigan are linked with Zaki's Egyptian international team-mate Emab Moteab who plays for the Al-Ahly club but is currently on loan with Al-Ittihad from Jeddah.

Wigan have watched Moteab and club bosses may be feeling they have had the best out of Heskey.

If so, they are likely to sell him in January and cash in rather than see him move on at the end of his season when his current contract expires.
