Everton midfielder Francisco Junior has extended his loan spell at Wigan until mid-January.

The 23-year-old has started each of the club's Sky Bet League 1 games this term and manager Gary Caldwell has been keen to extend his stay beyond the initial month.

"Cisco has been a revelation since he's arrived," Caldwell told the club's official website.

"When we found out there was a possibility of extending the loan, it was something I was very keen to get sorted.
