The player himself cannot hide his delight at sealing a move to the Premiership, and the prospect of playing European football with the mighty Latics.
Scharner, 25, said: "That [Europe] basically rules out playing for Birmingham. Wigan are sixth and have every chance [of getting a European place].
"I know what I'm worth and Birmingham are certainly not my first-choice club. If they approach me again, I will talk to them, but to me everything seems settled with Wigan.
"I played well against England, which is when Mr Jewell saw me, and since then I have been watched by scouts regularly. I love English football. It has been my dream to play in the Premier League and now it has come true."
