Gabriel Obertan Newcastle United

Former Manchester United winger Gabriel Obertan is set to have talks over a move to Wigan, according to Sky sources.

The Frenchman, who has been linked with a switch to Crystal Palace, is a free agent after a short spell at Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.

Obertan spent five years at Newcastle after making only 14 Premier League appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's United side.

Last May, Newcastle said the 27-year-old had been released after the club was relegated to the Sky Bet Championship.

Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic announced today that midfielder Jordi Gomez has joined Rayo Vallecano on a permanent deal.
