Wigan in for Darren Bent

Wigan are reportedly set to sign Darren Bent from Tottenham on January transfer deadline day. It is understood that the Latics have agreed a 6.5 million GBP deal with Spurs.

Darren Bent has had a very mixed spell at Tottenham, and only last week grabbed a brace in the Premiership.

However, with the expected return of Robbie Keane to partner Jermain Defoe at the club, Darren Bent is expected to be heading for the exit door.

Darren Bent will be Wigan boss Steve Bruce's idea of the perfect replacement for Emile Heskey, who left for Aston Villa.
