The young Dutch full back joined the Latics on loan in August an was expected to remain for the duration of the season.
However both Chelsea and Wigan have agreed it in their best interests to bring the loan to a premature end with van Aanholt and Martinez said to have their differences.
It is being rumoured that van Aanholt has been sent back to London to allow Martinez to utilise both his Premier League loan spots in January.
Moves for Manchester United duo, striker Mame Diouf and England under 19 international Ezekiel Fryers have been suggested given the excellent relationship between the two clubs.
Tom Cleverley was a revelation for the Latics last season and Martinez is hoping that both Diouf and Fryers can offer big contributions for the remainder of the season.
