Malky Mackay's Wigan Athletic have agreed a deal to sign Leeds United duo Jason Pearce and Rodolph Austin, according to Goal.

FLW exclusively revealed yesterday the news that the Latics were set to complete a deal for Jason Pearce for an undisclosed fee.

Pearce, 27, has been at the Yorkshire club since 2012 after moving from Portsmouth, and he has accrued over 100 appearances during his time at the Elland Road outfit.

The defender was the subject of interest from the Premier League in the summer transfer window from Burnley and Crystal Palace, as reported on FLW, however Malky Mackay’s Wigan Athletic now look set to complete a deal for the defender.

Wigan look set to fend off interest from Cardiff City to sign Leeds' midfield general Rodolph Austin.

The 29-year-old midfielder has found playing time somewhat hard to get under manager Neil Redfearn, and the Yorkshire club are to let the Jamaican leave in January.

Austin has made over 18 appearances for the Whites this season, scoring once, but has recently fallen out of favour with most of his appearances coming from the substitute bench.

Wigan Athletic are in dire need of fresh faces as they currently lie in 23rd position in the Sky Bet Championship.

Malky Mackay’s side have thus far accumulated a mere 21 points from 27 league games, and lie five points adrift of safety in the division, in what has turned out to be a very poor season for the club.

Meanwhile, Wigan Athletic have also completed a deal to sign ex-Leicester City striker Billy McKay, as reported on FLW.
