Arsenal youngster Josh Robinson has signed Wigan on a permanent deal.
The 20 -year -old has joined the League one with a three and a half year contract.
Robinson came through the Hale End academy and has been on the Arsenal bench for four or their six Champions League league phase games this season.
“I am very excited to start my adventure here,” Robinson said about his move to Wigan. “It’s a very big football club, and I can’t wait to see what the season plays.
“They were interested in me and when you see a big club like Wigan, you turn down this opportunity.
“I’ve been at Arsenal for a long time, and coming out of the academy into a first-team environment is a big step but I feel like I am ready to take it.
“It’s a big resolution, however, I realize why I take the leap from religion and I hope everything is okay. I’m really excited to get started.
Wigan are 16th in League One and their manager Shaun Maloney said: “We have been monitoring Josh for quite some time, and I am thrilled that he is now a player for Wigan Athletic.
“Moving here was a significant decision for him, but Josh is both excited and motivated about our vision for the Club in the coming seasons.
“He is an incredibly committed defender who excels in individual conditions and also has strength in attacking areas. I can’t wait for the paintings with Josh to him as well as the club to succeed in our goals. »»
