Wigan Athletic have confirmed that Francisco Junior has extended his loan deal from Everton.

The midfielder's original loan deal was set to last only one month, but now Latics have tied up Junior until the 16th January 2016.

The Portugal U21 international has impressed during his short time in Wigan and seems to be enjoying his football.

He communicates positively with the fans on the social media website Twitter; and Latics' boss Gary Caldwell has been full of praise for him.

When speaking to the official club wesbite, Caldwell said: "Cisco has been a revelation since he's arrived."

He also added: "When we found out there was a possibility of extending the loan, it was something I was very keen to get sorted."
