Wigan Athletic Football Club have set their sights on Franco di Santo.

Roberto Martinez is hoping the Latics can push for a top-ten finish in the Premier League this season, following their scare with relegation last term.

The Latics boss has already signed Mauro Boselli to bolster his attacking options, and he is now set to move for another Argentine forward.

The Mirror claim Martinez is set to ask Chelsea for the loan of di Santo, who spent last season in Lancashire on a temporary stint at Blackburn Rovers.

The South American faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, and he may relish the prospect to prove his quality on a regular basis at the DW Stadium.
