The expected Wigan signing of
Jason Scotland from Swansea has excited Latics captain Mario
Melchiot.
When asked if he was encouraged by the potential arrival of
Scotland, Melchiot told Sky Sports News: "Yes, of
course.
"He is a player that the gaffer has worked with. I am sure the
gaffer won't bring just anyone in, he takes his time.
"He knows what he wants. We have a group that did well last
season. To make sure we keep doing that we just need to add a
couple of people of quality to the group."
Melchiot is also confident Trinidad & Tobago international
Scotland will prove a hit in the Premier
League.
He said: "When people make the step up like that I don't think
they have in the back of their mind that they can't do it on the
bigger scale.
"We need to make sure we are behind anybody that comes into the
group. We need to help them perform as well as they can."
