Olembe: Sib convinced me
New Wigan signing Salomon Olembe has revealed that Antoine
Sibierski played a huge part in his move to The JJB.
Olembe signed for Wigan on Tuesday on a free transfer after his
contract at Marseille expired in June.
The Cameroonian ace had other offers but admits Sibierski - who he
played with at Nantes - had a major part to play in his
signing.

"I had a chance to sign for Metz in France, but then I heard that
Wigan wanted to speak to me," he told the Wigan Evening Post.
"So I spoke to Antoine and the people around me, and I decided I
wanted to come here.
"Antoine said the environment here at Wigan was the same as at my
first club Nantes which I enjoyed very much.
"It's good that he is here - first of all he can help me with my
game, and then help me with the lifestyle.
"In training he helped me a lot because my English is not very good
yet - people speak very fast.
"Hopefully, very quickly I will be able to spread my wings and
manage on my own, but Antoine will be a big help to start
with.
"It's a good challenge here, the club want to grow further and
bring in good players - they have a very positive ambition."
