Latics forward tells agent to strike deal with former club

Wigan striker Mauro Boselli is desperate for a move back to old club Estudiantes following a miserable spell in England. The £6.5 million man is said to have begged Latics boss Roberto Martinez to let him return to his native Argentina as soon as possible. The wantaway 26-year-old was sent out on loan to Italian side Genoa in January after a disappointing start to his Premier League career which saw him feature in just a handful of games. He is due to head back to Wigan for pre-season training this month despite his heart being set on a transfer away from the club and back to the Primera Division. "I've spoken with my wife and family and the best thing for me would be to return to Argentina. I've told my agent that the priority is Estudiantes," the frustrated forward is quoted as saying in The Sun.
