Wigan have completed the signing of Middlesbrough winger Yanic Wildschut on a three-month loan deal.
The 23-year-old former Ajax trainee is available for the Latics' Sky Bet League 1 clash with Walsall on Saturday.
Wigan manager Gary Caldwell told his club's official website: "He's something we definitely haven't got at the moment.
"We've lacked that bit of creativity from the flanks and we were interested as soon as we found out he may be available.
"With his background - coming through at Ajax - he is technically very comfortable and has had 12 months to get used to the pace of the English game.
"He is a very powerful boy, who stands at over six foot tall and one we have been admiring from a distance and with him not being involved at the moment, he is looking for game time."
Wildschut has scored three goals in 14 Boro appearances since joining in September 2014.
