Jewell: Latics stars not for sale

WIGAN manager Paul Jewell has warned off hovering predators as the club consider the potential downside to their current success.

Despite Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the JJB Stadium ending Wigan’s six-match winning streak in the league, the Latics continue to ride high in second place.

Pascal Chimbonda signed a new contract just a few months after his summer arrival from Bastia, to close a clause in his old deal allowing him to leave if a potential poacher offers a certain figure.
