31-8-10: Franco Di Santo has signed for Wigan Athletic for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £1m plus, which could end up being £3m if certain stipulations are met. "I think I needed to come to Wigan Athletic at this point in my career," Franco Di Santo told the club's official website. "Chelsea is a fantastic club but I didn't have too many opportunities there, so I'm very happy to have made this move. "At my age I need to be playing regular football so it's an important move for me and I hope to earn a place in the team and then try my hardest to stay there." He added: "There were some other offers at the time but Wigan was the move I wanted. "I wanted to stay in England, in the best league in the world and join a club that is moving in the right direction. "So together with my family and friends I decided this was the right move for me."
