Martinez hunts for diamond geezers

WIGAN manager Roberto Martinez insists nothing less than “diamonds” will suffice when he goes on the hunt for transfer window treasure next month.

With Martinez openly conceding he is desperate to strengthen his squad, the Spaniard, whose side entertain Bolton tonight, is naturally being linked with a host of players.

Given the club’s penchant in recent times for buying Central and South Americans, it is understandable most of the names currently being associated with Wigan are from that area.
