Wigan signs Rodallega

by Adriaan Alsema January 26, 2009

Wigan completed the signing of Colombia striker Hugo Rodallega on Monday and hopes to field him against Liverpool on Wednesday.

Rodallega signed a 3 1/2-year deal with the Latics, who paid Mexican
club Necaxa 4.5 million pounds ($6.21 million; $4.77 million) for him.

The Premier League club, which sold striker Emile Heskey to Aston
Villa on Friday, has already secured a work permit for the striker and
now needs to get international clearance for Rodallega, who has scored
six goals in 21 appearances for Colombia.

“It has taken a while to get all the paperwork completed on what has
been quite a complicated transfer, but I’m relieved it’s all been
finalized,” Wigan manager Steve Bruce said.

“I believe this lad can be as big a success in this country as some
of our other imports. He is strong and quick, with an eye for goal and
I am convinced he can adapt to the pace and physicality of the
Premier League.” (AP)
