Wigan have completed the signing of young French winger Nouha Dicko on a free transfer. Dicko, 19, was on trial with the Latics after Strasbourg released him due to their financial problems and impressed the staff at the DW Stadium in the pre-season games against Preston and Villarreal to land a three and a half year deal.
Dicko thus becomes Roberto Martinez’s third signing of the summer after goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi and midfielder David Jones. Martinez said that he was one for the future, quoting his pace and talent as important qualities, and Dicko remarked that he would be trying to push for a regular spot in the Latics starting XI.
Wigan’s first game of the season is against Norwich City.
