3 soon-to-be free agents that Wigan Athletic should consider this summer

Wigan Athletic are hoping to seal a return to the Sky Bet Championship this season after what has been a strong campaign for them.

The Latics have it in their hands and that is all you can ask for at this stage of the year, with them currently sitting top of the League One tree and looking to seal the title.

Steven Sessegnon

Steven Sessegnon has spent time on loan at Plymouth Argyle this season whilst he knows the Championship from temporary spells at Bristol City and a permanent one, of course, at parent club Fulham.
