Wigan Athletic manager Chris Hutchins is confident that Paul Robinson is keen to join the club.
The West Bromwich Albion left-back is desperate to play Premier League football once again and is said to have had a medical yesterday in a deal worth £1.5million.
Sunderland have also been linked with a move for the rugged defender, but it looks as if Hutchins has won the race.
Michael Brown has not travelled with the rest of the Fulham squad to the far east for the Barclays Asia Trophy competition.
The former Spurs midfielder is wanted by Wigan Athletic and Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez is willing to let Brown leave the club, following the signing of Steven Davis from Aston Villa.
Aston Villa are in talks with West Ham United striker Marlon Harewood.
The former Nottingham Forest player held talks with Wigan Athletic over the weekend and was expected to sign early this week, but Villa’s interest has changed all of this.
Martin O’Neill has agreed a fee with the Hammers and Harewood’s agent Mick McGuire has confirmed that Villa are in talks.
Wigan Athletic have completed the signing of Jason Koumas from West Bromwich Albion.
The Welsh midfielder has joined for a fee of £5.3million on a four-year deal at the JJB Stadium.
Koumas was recently voted as the best player outside of the Premiership and had attracted interest from Everton and Aston Villa.
