Wigan reject Sunderland's fresh offer for combative midfielder Cattermole
Wigan have rejected an improved £6million offer from Sunderland for midfielder Lee Cattermole.
Former Wigan boss Steve Bruce is determined to sign the 21-year-old and initially offered £5m on Friday but Wigan are standing firm.
They want to give manager Roberto Martinez every chance of making a success of his Barclays Premier League debut and see Cattermole as pivotal to their plans.
