Wigan have landed Argentinian striker Franco Di Santo from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.
Di Santo, 21, passed his medical this afternoon and signed a three-year deal with minutes to spare of the closing of the transfer-window.
Manager Roberto Martinez, who has been tracking the striker for some time, is thrilled to have got his man.
"Franco is an Under-20 international for Argentina with great Premier League experience having worked at a club with the calibre of players of Chelsea, and also spending a hugely beneficial year on loan at an established club like Blackburn Rovers," he said.
"We all feel that Franco can fulfil his potential at our football club and he'll bring a completely different dimension to our squad with his presence, technical ability and hard-work."
