James McCarthy hints at Wigan Athletic exit?

Wigan Athletic midfielder James McCarthy has hinted that he could leave the club at the end of the season.

Liverpool and Everton have both been linked with moves for the 22-year-old Republic of Ireland international in recent weeks.

"Obviously, it's good to see your name linked with big clubs, certain clubs, it's always nice but I am still a Wigan player and I will keep playing for Wigan until the end of the season," the Daily Mail quotes McCarthy as saying.

"I have been linked with clubs here and there but I will keep working hard and see what the end of the season brings."

McCarthy joined Wigan from Scottish club Hamilton Academical in 2009 for around £1m.
