The Latics have beaten rivals West Ham to the signing of
Spanish centre, Ivan Ramis, for a fee to believed to be around £4.5 million.
It was announced last weekend that Real Mallorca has agreed
a fee with the Hammers for the 27 year old, but following a week of discussions, he has decided to join up with
fellow Spaniard Roberto Martinez .

Ramis arrives at the DW stadium on a three year deal, and
will provide the Latics with much needed experience at the heart of the
defence. He becomes Martinez second
signing of the summer following the arrival of Fraser Fyvie, and could well
make his debut in the pre season clash with his former club, Real Mallorca on
Sunday afternoon.
Elsewhere the Latics will be keen to see a conclusion to the
long running Victor Moses saga. Chelsea are believed to be preparing one final
bid for the Nigerian international, unless it meets the club’s valuation, Moses
will remain at the DW.

A move to Stamford
Bridge for Moses, could well signal
the arrival, of Belgian international Roman Lukaku on loan. Arsenal’s Japanese international
Ryo Miyaichi has been linked with a season long move, although a loan move for Wales
captain Aaron Ramsey seems unlikely. Finally Martinez
has ruled out a move for free agent and former Latic Emile Heskey.
