Wigan to test BlackburnWigan boss Paul Jewell is thought to be ready to test Blackburn boss Mark Hughes’ resolve to keep David Thompson by lining up a move for the fiery midfielder.
With an impressive transfer kitty burning a hole in his pocket, Jewell has already started scouring The Premiership for the experienced campaigners needed for next year.

Thompson would fall into that category and has the type of infectious enthusiasm and quality that Jewell has earmarked.
