[LNB]Sunderland have made two bids already while Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton are all monitoring his situation with Wigan reluctant to sell. [LNB]The England U21 midfielder, though, wants to press his claims for a place in Fabio Capello's full squad and bids of around £10million could prove successful.[LNB] French-born Diame, 22, has been watched by Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid but Wigan have moved quickly to pull off a real coup. [LNB]Amaya is a 6ft 4ins centre half and will give Martinez cover for Titus Bramble. Meanwhile, Nice are interested in Wigan's Olivier Kapo. [LNB] [LNB]
