Wigan interested in Jones

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has made clear his intention to complete the permanent signing of ex-Wolves man David Jones. The 26-year-old midfielder has impressed the Wigan boss since training with the first team over the summer period and has also shone in appearances for the Latics during pre-season. Although the former Manchester United youth player has been training with Wigan primarily to gain match fitness he has become a genuine target for Martinez, who will look to agree personal terms with Jones over the coming week."He is 26 but he has a great desire to learn." stated Martinez."We will be working extremely hard to make sure he becomes a part of our football club and hopefully that will be sorted out very soon."After losing influential playmaker Charles N'Zogbia to Aston Villa Martinez will be looking to bolster his midfield, with Jones providing a cheap and viable option in the middle of the park.
