"This is something fresh that has come up and I am quite confident it will end well. They have shown a keen interest so I hope finally my desire to play in England will come true next season. Wigan is not so big but to me it is all about starting well from one of these clubs where you can enjoy a lot of play time to prepare you well when the top clubs come calling," he said.

"There has been interest from some other clubs across Europe but I think I will go ahead with the Wigan offer because if God willing it works out, it will improve my game considerably. They have played well this season and have ambitious plans for the next season which I want to be part of," he added.
