Wigan boss Roberto Martinez
is tracking 150 players as he looks to strengthen his squad in the
next two transfer windows.
General manager John Benson is spending this week watching
Honduras - from where the Latics already signed Hendry Thomas and
Maynor Figueroa - play Peru.
Martinez is interested in players from both countries but would
not confirm one target is Johnny Palacios, the 22-year-old younger
brother of former Wigan
midfielder Wilson who made a big-money January move to Sunday's
opponents Tottenham.
"We really follow many players and we have to do it because we
cannot have any errors in our signings," said the Spaniard.
"In every window we have to improve the squad and help the
players we have here to become a stronger team.
"It is too early to talk about names but we are working hard and
have been since the summer.
"We need to get the right characters and personalities and they
have to bring something different to the squad."
