Kapo heading for exit

Wigan midfielder Olivier Kapo has revealed that he expects to leave the club at the end of the season.[LNB] Kapo joined the Latics last summer, but despite making the line-up for the season opener with West Ham, the former Juventus man has since fallen out of favour at the JJB.[LNB]As a result, Kapo is now looking to move on in the summer with France his preferred destination if a top English club do not come in for him.[LNB]"Will I leave the club at the end of the season? Yes, that is for sure. However, I remain focused on the club until then," the 29-year-old told Aujourd'hui Sport.[LNB]"I don't know why I play so rarely. I am fine mentally and physically. It is just a problem between the coach and myself.[LNB]"I want to bounce back, show that I am not a has-been. I have definitely not given up in England, but I am also keen to go back to France. It will all depend on the opportunities."[LNB]Bruce tensionKapo's failure to make an impact at the club comes as something of a surprise, considering that he was one of several players whom manager Steve Bruce brought to Wigan when he made the switch from Birmingham.[LNB]Of those players, only Wilson Palacios has impressed this season, while Kapo and Daniel de Ridder have found themselves marginalised figures - much to Kapo's disappointment.[LNB]"Maybe I made a mistake by following him (Steve Bruce)," he added.[LNB]"I have never been at ease at Wigan, since the very first day. I have been disappointed by the team's performances. When you are used to playing every weekend, it is difficult to suddenly be left out.[LNB]"I never had any talks with Steve Bruce. Maybe I am suffering from a bad image. The press has said a lot of unfair things about me.[LNB]"Sometimes I feel like I'm a 10-year-old kid asking to play."[LNB]
