Sky Sports are reporting that Leicester have agreed a fee with Wigan for midfielder James McArthur, Blues next Sky Bet Championship opponents.

Leicester have be open about the fact they require more numbers in midfield and have turned to Wigan for their 26 year old first team central midfielder. Wigan had turned down a previous offer that was not up to their valuation.

McArthur will be a big miss at Wigan. This transfer is not only coming late in the window but it is for someone who has played all four of their opening fixtures.

The deal looks to be pressing ahead, making it unlikely McArthur will play any part against Birmingham when Lee Clark`s men travel to the DW Stadium on Saturday.

Deals such as these are usually unavoidable for clubs such as Wigan. The temptation of the Premier League is enough to turn the player`s interest. Whilst the Premier League money is usually very persuasive at boardroom level.

Wigan will now wait to see who they will find to replace James McArthur, what I do know is Emyr Huws is on loan at Wigan and will play in central midfield against Blues this week.
