The midfield enforcer is also being linked with Liverpool.

Fellow Wigan man Victor Moses, also being linked with Liverpool amongst others, has said he will not discuss his future until he has finished international duty.

"It`s only Nigeria for now.

"My agent and other people know where best I can play and they are working on it, at the right time a decision will be taken."
