Bruce has sights on Pennant as striker set to end loan deal at Pompey
Wigan manager Steve Bruce is trying to hijack Portsmouth's move for Liverpool reject Jermaine Pennant.
The 26-year-old winger's Anfield contract is not being extended and he will be a free agent when his Portsmouth loan expires at the end of the week.
Bruce is looking to sign a replacement for Antonio Valencia and remains a big admirer of Pennant, having signed him for Birmingham from Arsenal.
Bruce then stood by Pennant when the winger was jailed for drink driving in 2005.
