West Bromwich Albion 'close to completing Callum McManaman deal'

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly close to completing the signing of Wigan Athletic midfielder Callum McManaman.

Baggies boss Tony Pulis has openly admitted that he would like to land the 23-year-old's signature this month, while up to three other Premier League teams are also said to be interested.

However, Sky Sports News claims that West Brom, who have previously had a bid of £4m rejected for the player's services, are due to finalise the deal having won the race for the in-demand winger.

McManaman has scored 17 goals in 119 appearances for Wigan, with yesterday's 1-0 defeat at home to Huddersfield likely to have been his last game for the Championship outfit.
