Wigan Athletic midfielder aiming to win deal at League Two outfit
Wigan Athletic midfielder Baba Adeeko is spending this week trying to earn a move to League Two outfit Oldham Athletic.
The 23-year-old midfielder was one of five players whom manager Gary Caldwell made available for transfer at the end of last season.
And he has been training with the 'other' Latics with a view to making the short trip across the north west.
The academy product has been hampered by injury for much of the last 18 months.
Indeed, his last appearance for Latics came in the 2-0 home defeat against Cardiff City on September 27 last year.
Oldham are no strangers to bringing players in from Latics - Kai Payne had a couple of loan spells at Boundary Park in each of the last couple of seasons, while Josh Stones also spent a few months with them before his permanent move to York City.
Latics are also hopeful that Jonny Smith, Joseph Hungbo and Ronan Darcy will find new clubs this summer, which would give Caldwell greater scope to bring in his own players for the rebuild.
A fifth player – Maleace Asamoah Jnr – is on loan at Shamrock Rovers, who are in the middle of their domestic campaign.
