JEWELL FEARS CARROLL EXIT

NEW Wigan Athletic manager Paul Jewell has conceded that he is likely to lose goalkeeper Roy Carroll in the summer.

The Northern Ireland international keeper performed superbly for Wigan last season, and his efforts established him in Sammy McIlroy`s national squad, as well as alerting a number of Premiership teams to his talents.

One of the most persistent links has been with Peter Taylor`s Leicester, and former Bradford boss Jewell believes that Carroll could be on his way to Filbert Street.

"I heard he`s going to Leicester, so it looks like he will be going," Jewell conceded.

"I don`t know too much about it. I`ll try and find out the facts and see what`s happening."
