Cho pushing for Latics debut

Wigan new-boy Cho Won-hee is pushing for a place in the squad for the trip to Sunderland on Saturday. The 25-year-old is expected back in the North West on Monday after he had to return home while he awaited a visa.The South Korea international has now sorted out the small details of his move and, with a work permit arranged, he can now begin concentrating on turning out for the Latics.Midfielder Lee Cattermole's sending off against West Ham last Wednesday has opened up a space in midfield but manager Steve Bruce may be reluctant to throw him in from the start.DebutIf Bruce decides to bide his time with the midfielder a place on the bench would still be up for grabs giving Cho the opportunity to make his debut at the Stadium of Light.The former Suwon Samsung Bluewings man has signed on a free transfer and while on trial impressed his new boss almost immediately."I could tell straight away that he was a good player," Bruce told the Wigan Observer."I think he can make a significant impact in the Premier League. That is the reason why we are signing him."He's fast, strong, determined and has a terrific attitude on and off the field."Cho will wear the number five shirt vacated when Wilson Palacios left for Tottenham in January.
