The Premiership outfit have already signed Palace defender Fitz Hall for £3million, and were hoping to follow up their earlier raid by snapping up his former team-mate.
However, it now seems that Paul Jewell's opening offer has been rebuffed, as the Lodon club are reluctant to lose the player voted their palyer of the season for last term.
Wigan's signing of Emile Heskey for a club record fee of £5.5million shows that the Latics are not frightened to open the chequebook, and Paul Jewell will now have to up his bid if he wants to bring the 26-year-old to the JJB Stadium.
