Latics boss refuses to name Whites ace

Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez has refused to confirm Leeds midfielder Bradley Johnson is wanted by the club. Johnson has been linked with a move to The Latics while Burnley, Sheffield United and Stoke are also said to be in the hunt. The talented 23-year-old has been transfer listed at Leeds after failing to agree a new long-term deal at Elland Road. However, when questioned whether Martinez could be interested in the star in the New Year, he remained non-committal. "There are going to be a lot of names thrown at us and a lot of speculation," said Martinez. "I think we will speak about the window when it arrives but at the moment it is too early."
