We first announced that the Latics had moved for the midfielder on the 10th of July, more than two weeks ago.

The 29 year old midfielder currently plys his trade in Turkey with Genclerbirligi and has been after a move to the Premiership for some time.

A move to Manchester City recently fell through at the 11th hour, but it seems a move to the JJB is more than likely.

Skoko said: "I am happy here at Genclerbirligi, however the Premiership is something else. I hope the negotiations with Wigan Athletic will be worked out.

"If it fails, I will continue to give everything I have got for Genclerbirligi. They want again a top five ranking and of course there is the World Cup in Germany."
