League OneWigan Athletic have announced the club has been sold to "a new buyer".

Wigan will start 2023-24 on minus eight points after failures to pay wages.

The new buyer has not been named, but the owners say the buyer "committed to resolving all outstanding liabilities at the earliest opportunity".

A statement said that any deal is "subject to EFL approval".

On Sunday, Wigan directors Tom Markham and Oliver Gottmann confirmed their resignations after funds "promised by the ownership group" that were due to be paid by 2 June had still not materialised.

Their statement said "with no visibility of when funds will arrive", their position was untenable.
