Big Vic off to Wigan?

Reports in the media this morning suggest that David Moyes could free up the funds needed to sign Steven Pienaar from Spurs, by selling Victor Anichebe to Wigan.

Despite South African International Steven Pienaar being surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane, Spurs still want around £5million for him.

Obviously at Everton, £5million is not easy to come by and so David Moyes might be tempted to part with Big Vic to raise the required funds to seal Pienaar`s Goodison return.

If that was indeed David Moyes's plan then unfortunately there are a lot of if's, but's and maybe's attached to this particular deal.

Wigan will only be interested in signing Victor Anichebe, if Wigan chairman Dave Whelan caves into Chelsea's interest in Victor Moses.

He's a key part of Roberto Martinez's plans at Wigan, but with only 12 months remaining on his contract they are susceptible to big offers, although so far have resisted a £4million move.

It is thought they want around £8million, or ideally to agree new personal terms to extend his contract, but as we know, ironically in regards to the Pienaar deal, teams will sell if they believe they are at risk of losing a player for free when they run out of contract.
