Latics and Seasiders want Nugent

31 August 2010 12:32
Wigan have reportedly joined Blackpool in the race to sign Portsmouth striker David Nugent before the end of the transfer window.[LNB] The 25-year-old forward has been strongly linked with a move away from Fratton Park this summer and has been tipped to leave the struggling Championship club.[LNB]Blackpool have already made an enquiry about the former Preston frontman, and the Latics could launch a late bid to lure him to the DW Stadium.[LNB]Nugent has been with Pompey since 2007 but has failed to make a big impact on the South Coast and was loaned out to Burnley last season.[LNB]Despite his lack of goals with Portsmouth, though, he is still considered to have top-flight pedigree after netting six times for the Clarets during his spell at Turf Moor.[LNB]However, it remains to be seen if either Wigan or Blackpool will be able to prise him away from Pompey, as they currently have a shortage of players and lie bottom of the table.
