Scharner in Latics' departure lounge
Wigan midfielder Paul Scharner will leave the DW Stadium when his contract expires in the summer - and he wants to stay in the Premier League.[LNB] Scharner came off the bench in yesterday's 2-2 draw against Hull with 'THANX' dyed into his hair, before providing the assist for Steven Gohouri's late equaliser.[LNB]Afterwards the 30-year-old Austrian said it would be his last home game for Latics, who he joined in 2006.[LNB]"This was the last game at the DW Stadium for me, that's true - as a Wigan player," Scharner told BBC Radio Manchester.[LNB]"Next season, I am looking for a midfield position but it's too early to say at which club. I am looking to stay in the Premier League."[LNB]He continued: "I have lots of memories. I think we have to talk for another 30 minutes to cover all the stuff.[LNB]"First of all I have to say thank you to the chairman of Wigan Athletic for giving me the chance to play in the Premier League.[LNB]"And another thank you to the supporters. They created a nice song for me. It was very enjoyable and I go home with tears in my eyes."[LNB]Stoke have previously expressed an interest in Scharner and will be keen again, but there is likely to be a queue of suitors for the maverick midfielder.
