Moses signs for Latics

According to his agent highly rated striker Victor Moses has signed for Wigan Athletic. The in-demand youngster is believed to have signed a three and a half year deal at the DW Stadium after passing his medical and agreeing personal terms and is believed to have cost the Latic’s £2.5million.

Moses has been linked with some major names including Manchester United, Liverpool and even Spanish giants Real Madrid. Moses boss Neil Warnock revealed that after his sides win over Peterborough on Saturday that a Premier League side were on the verge of completing a deal.

Championship sides Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and West Brom were all believed to have also made bids but Moses would have seen a move to a Championship side as a sidestep. And Wigan boss Roberto Martinez has now persuaded the talented striker to join his side.

The striker will add some much needed firepower to the Wigan’s powder-puff attack. The strike-partnership of Jason Scotland and Hugo Rodallega again failed to find the net in their sides 1-0 home defeat to Everton yesterday.

The Latic’s are also believed to be interested in Spanish striker Ruben. The North West side were close to tying up a £7million deal for the Villarreal striker but the deal collapsed at the last minute. However reports are suggesting they could revive the deal and strengthen their attack.

Wilshere makes Bolton move as Trotters sign Robinson permanently

Arsenal’s talented youngster Jack Wilshere has joined Bolton Wanderers on loan until the end of the season. The young midfielder is highly rated at the Emirates Stadium and some had even tipped the 18 year-old to make the England squad for this summer’s World Cup.

However he has made only a few appearances this season for the Gunners. The move to Bolton will provide him with regular first team football. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was happy to allow the midfielder to move to gain valuable Premier League experience.

Bolton boss Owen Coyle is thrilled to have signed Wilshere. He told the clubs official website: “Jack is a talented, young, hungry player who I think has got a bright future ahead of him,”

“He has got an abundance of quality and he will enhance our squad. It is similar to the deal with Vladimir Weiss in terms of the belief that I can help the player and the player can help this football club.

Bolton have also signed full-back Paul Robinson permanently. He joined the Trotters in the summer on loan from Bolton and will now stay at the Reebok Stadium. The 31 year old has a wealth of experience with both Watford and West Brom.

Burnley snare Fox

Premier League Burnley have completed the signing of Celtic full-back Daniel Fox for an undisclosed fee. Fox has only been at Parkhead for six months after his summer arrival from Coventry. Celtic boss Tony Mowbray admitted that he could sell the Scottish international earlier in the week and the Clarets moved quickly to secure his signature.

The 23 year-old impressed in the Championship with Coventry after making a name for himself with Walsall in League One. His form got him noticed and the former Everton trainee was snapped up by Scottish giants Celtic. However despite winning his first Scotland cap at the club he didn’t convince his boss that he is good enough for the club.

Fox has signed a three and a half year deal with the Lancashire side after completing his medical and agreeing personal terms earlier today. He won’t be eligible to appear against Chelsea this weekend as he was not signed in time.

The full-back is new Burnley boss Brian Laws fourth signing since arriving at Turf Moor. Burnley have already signed goalkeeper Nicky Weaver, striker Frederic Nimani and defender Leon Cort. The former Sheffield Wednesday boss is trying to strengthen his squad ahead of his sides battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Tottenham complete Gudjohnsen swoop

Tottenham have completed the signing of Icelandic striker Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan from Monaco for the remainder of the season. The former Chelsea forward was expected to sign for West Ham yesterday after holding discussions and having a medical with the Hammers.

However Tottenham made a last ditch to sign the experienced star and he has decided to join Tottenham instead. The Hammers board and management are believed to be furious with Tottenham for what they see as their city rivals hijacking the deal. However Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has claimed that both sides offered the same terms and Gudjohnsen choose to move to White Hart Lane.

Gudjohnsen has a wealth of experience at club level having played for European champions Barcelona and also Premier League leaders Chelsea, before making the move to France with Monaco. He has struggled to settle in the principality and has long been linked with a move back to England.

The Icelandic international will provide Tottenham with a different attacking option to what they already have, as he offers more creative qualities than the likes of Jermain Defoe, Peter Crouch and Robbie Keane. Spurs will be hoping that Gudjohnsen can help the club clinch a lucrative Champions League spot.

Blackburn snap up Turkish star

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Turkish international midfielder Yildiray Basturk from Stuttgart until the end of the season. The 31 year-old had fallen out of favour at the Bundesliga side and he felt a move to Rovers would mean more first team opportunities.

Rovers boss Sam Allardyce felt that he needed more creativity in his side and he will now turn his attentions to signing a new striker ahead of the transfer window shutting next week. The midfield ace hasn’t signed in time to play against Wigan tonight but will probably make his debut against West Ham on Saturday.

Basturk came to prominence at Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen before moving on and signing for Stuttgart. Basturk revealed that former Blackburn midfielder Tugay persuaded him to make the move to Rovers. Tugay was a former international teammate and also friend of Basturk.

Basturk told the clubs official website: “I had contact with Blackburn for three months and I spoke to Tugay and he said it is a very good club and to come here and try the last few years,”

“I played about 50 games for the national team with Tugay and he always told me how good a club Blackburn is.”

Bolton sign USA international

Premier League Bolton have signed USA international midfielder Stuart Holden. The 24 year-old was on trial at the club and has now signed a contract until the end of the season after leaving his MLS side Houston Dynamo. Holden was previously on trial at Burnley. When Owen Coyle moved clubs he decided to follow up his interest in the player. The move is subject to international clearance.

Holden is the new Bolton bosses second signing after the Scot secured the services of Slovakian midfielder Vladimir Weiss, on-loan for the rest of the season from Manchester City. Holden has won 12 caps for his country and could be set for a place in the USA squad for June’s World Cup.

Holden said:”This was the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my career, but at the end of the day I felt it was the right time to test myself at the highest level.

“Having had a short spell over here when I was younger, I knew all about the passion for football in this country and that helped to draw me back.

“The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and I was really excited when this opportunity came up. Now I am looking forward to getting involved and getting started.”

Senderos completes Everton move

Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos has completed a loan move to Everton until the end of the season. The 24 year-old had fallen out of favour with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and has moved to gain regular first team football.

The Swiss international had been linked with numerous other clubs including fellow Premier League side West Ham but the Toffee’s have now secured his signature. He has gained a wealth of experience during his short career and spent last season on loan at Italian giants AC Milan.

However he returned to the Emirates Stadium in the summer and has found it hard to break up the central defensive partnership of William Gallas and Thomas Vermaelen. It became clear that Senderos future was elsewhere when Arsenal resigned former England defender Sol Campbell earlier this month.

Senderos told the clubs official website:”I am delighted to be an Everton player for the remainder of the season,”

“I can’t wait to get stuck in and play for Everton. Hopefully I can get some first team football in during my time here. I am here with high hopes and hopefully I can fulfil them.

“I have spoken to David Moyes and he hopes to give me opportunities here. Hopefully I can grab that opportunity and stay in the team.

Van Nistelrooy set for Hamburg

Real Madrid’s Dutch striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy is set to sign for Bundesliga side Hamburg. The 33 year-old has been chased by a number of big clubs including Premier League sides during the January transfer window. Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham were all linked with moves for the former United star, but its the German side who have captured his signature.

He underwent a medical in Germany on Saturday and passed despite some lingering doubts over recent problems with injuries. Despite spending the majority of this season in the treatment room he is now fully-fit and looking for regular first team football.

Van Nistelrooy is believed to have signed a one and a half year contract in Hamburg. His new side are currently well placed in the Bundesliga table in fifth place challenging for the Champions League football next season.

The Dutch striker told the clubs official website: “I am very happy that it worked out and look forward to Monday when I will arrive in Hamburg,”

Gardner set for City move as Sunderland chase Beye

Aston Villa have accepted a £3million bid for midfielder Craig Gardner from city rivals Birmingham City. The 23 year-old is now set to undergo a medical and discuss terms with the club. The deal was agreed on Friday and the deal is expected to complete the deal in the next week.

Gardner has made 79 appearances for Villa but has struggled to hold down a regular first team place this season. The midfielder was a boyhood Blues fan. Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has a long held interest in the former under-21 international because of his ability to play in a variety of positions.

Another player who could be leaving Villa is full-back Habib Beye. Sunderland are chasing the experienced defender. Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is looking to strengthen his defence and sees Beye as an ideal option. Bruce missed out on Hamburg defender Guy Demel after the Ivorian defender decided to stay at Hamburg and it seems hes now turned his attention to Beye.

Bruce revealed: “It’s defensively that we are looking to do things this month,”

“Habib Beye is one I like and admire, but that’s as a far as it has gone at the moment. We are interested in him and we have had a look at him, but I’m not sure whether we are going to be able to do anything.”

Jo moves to Turkish giants

Brazilian striker Jo has moved to Turkish side Galatasaray on loan till the end of the season. The 22 year-old was on loan at Premier League Everton but his loan deal was cancelled and he headed back to Manchester City. City immediately loaned him out to the Turkish giants.

When Jo arrived at City for £18million from Russian side CSKA Moscow he was highly rated and big things were expected of him in the Premier League. However he struggled to settle in Manchester and joined Everton on loan last season.

He had mixed fortunes at Goodison Park but he did enough to convince Toffee’s boss David Moyes to resign him on loan at the start of this season. A statement on the Everton website read: “Brazilian striker Jo has left Everton and returned to Manchester City,”

“Jo was then immediately loaned by City to Galatasaray, the Turkish side taking the 22-year-old until the end of the season.”

Jo fell out with the Everton boss after arriving home late from a holiday in Brazil and was fined. Moyes gave him another chance but the youngster failed to turn up for training on Monday. It was the final straw and Everton contacted City to cancel his loan deal. The Brazilian international will be hoping he enjoys a more successful time in Turkey then he did in England.
