Mauro Boselli returning to Wigan Athletic

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has revealed that Mauro Boselli will return to the club next week.

The Argentine striker has spent the majority of his two-year stint with the Latics on loan deals with Genoa and Estudiantes.

However, Martinez has backed the 27-year-old to make an impact on the Premier League over the coming season.

"Mauro will be joining us next Monday, and we are all very excited about that," Martinez told the Evening Post. "He has just had a very challenging season at Estudiantes, where it was extremely difficult for the team as a whole.

"But in the second half of the campaign, you started to see the best of Mauro. He scored plenty of important goals, and he was showing a real enjoyment of his football again.

"I just feel now is the right time for him to come back to Wigan and settle back in to life in England, and be himself as he has been able to do back home."

Wigan paid a reported £6m for the centre-forward back in 2010.
