Wigan have completed the signing of Chile midfielder Jean Beausejour from Birmingham.
The 27 year old joins Latics on a two and a half year deal, but the fee is undisclosed.
Beausejour will now find himself in a fight to stay in the Premier League instead of a club trying to get back into the top flight.
Wigan boss Roberto Martinez told his club’s website: ‘Jean is a player we have been tracking for a long time since he made a huge impression on us with his role for Chile in the World Cup.’
He added: ‘Now Jean has 18 months of experience in the British game and his dynamism, technical ability and tactical concepts will bring a different dimension into our squad.
‘He is ready to bring his own experience and his energy into the fantastic challenge that as a football club we’re facing in the next 16 games of the season.’
