Wigan’s recent transfer activity demonstrates how dedicated the team’s owners are to seeing Shaun Maloney succeed.
The Latics signed Premier League players Michael Olakigbe and Calvin Ramsay on loan from Brentford and Liverpool, respectively, before acquiring attacking wing-back Rankine.
After a challenging season last year that included an eight-point deduction and a transfer embargo, the Latics must have a productive summer in order to pursue a 2024–25 promotion.
In light of this, Wigan Today was recently informed by manager Shaun Maloney, “I would like to have as much of the squad – 90 percent of the squad – with us starting pre-season.”
This is a direct message to Ben Goodburn, the chairman, and owner Mike Danson telling them to assist the team in wrapping up their transfer transaction as quickly as possible.
