Wigham United?

There is absolutely no room for sentiment in the cut throat world of professional football, particularly in the Barclays Premier League and the Leagues below it, so West Ham United's pursuit of players who's club's have been relegated is par to the course. Wigan Athletic stayed up following a string of superb performances, only to then get retrospectively relegated following a 12 point deduction for financial irregularities that put the club in to administration.

Hammers are in desperate need of a new full back, and Wigan's Antonee Robinson fits the bill, young fit and available on a cut-price deal, Moyes is keen to sign the full-back and could end up only having to pay just £1.5Million, and this for a player who nearly joined AC Milan for a deal which could have been worth £10m in January before it fell through.

Not only does David Moyes want to 'raid' Wigan for Robinson, but he is also interested in their centre back Cedric Kipre, the 23-year-old was an almost ever present for the Latics last season and was one of the better players for Paul Cook’s side. Both players would be useful additions, particularly Antonee Robinson, such is the club's need for full backs with a cloud of uncertainty over both Ryan Fredericks and Aaron Cresswell.
It may seem pernicious to 'pick off' the assets of a club that is in trouble, but look back at how often West Ham have been on the receiving end, often by Daniel Levy, who may be a wretch in many people's opinions, but he sure knows how to strike a deal that is benefitial for the unmentionables!
