Wigan target Lille midfielder Mavuba

Wigan boss Steve Bruce is reportedly lining up a bid for Lille midfielder Rio Mavuba. The 25 year old is said to favour a move to the Premier League but he is happy to wait until the end of the season to resolve his career.

"I like the Premier League a lot, there is no better league and I like the physical contact," he said.

"People said I am built for the Premier League, let's wait until the end of the season.

"Lille is doing well at the moment so we might qualify for the Champions League so that will be a big thing, but let's wait at the end of the season."
