Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is continuing to scour the world for potential new recruits for his Latics squad.

Martinez is expected to try and engineer several deals in the January transfer market and has spread his net far and wide.

He told the Evening Post: "We've got a good squad at Wigan with a lot of potential and they are still improving.

"You are always looking to strengthen and our search is a worldwide one.

"We are not just looking at the English market, because some players here can be a little bit overpriced.

"So I'm looking at Spain, Holland, Scotland, Portugal, Ukraine and South America as well.

"We are going to be linked with many players, but any who come to Wigan will have to give the squad another dimension and, crucially, help the players we already have."
