Wigan sign Brentford midfielder Michael Olakigbe |

Wigan Athletic have signed midfielder Michael Olakigbe on a season-long loan deal.

The England Under-20 star is set to spend time away from his parent club Brentford.

The Premier League side loaned him to Peterborough United last season, where he played five times in League One.

Now he will have the chance to show if he can maintain the level needed to start games in that division.

“The way Wigan like to play is exactly the style that suits my game and that’s really important to me as I look to progress in my career,” he told the Latics website, externally.
