Wigan Athletic will want to hit the ground running when the Championship season gets back underway later this month.

Paul Cook's side are 20th in the table as things stand and just two points above the relegation zone with nine games still to be played this term.

The Latics will be determined to secure survival this term and will likely already be pondering how to improve their squad ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

With that in mind, we've highlighted seven Premier League outcasts they should look to sign this summer...

The West Ham United midfielder has spent the past two seasons on loan at Charlton Athletic and been a fantastic addition for the Addicks.

The 24-year-old's current deal is set to expire this summer and could be a key man in the Latic's midfield for years to come.

The central defender hasn't had many opportunities at Manchester City but has impressed on loan with Blackburn Rovers this term.

Adarabioyo, who has one year left on his contract and may be assessing his options, has shown his quality at Championship level and should only improve over the next few years.

The 21-year-old forward has not had the chances he would have hoped for at Villa and has spent the second half of the season on loan at Derby County.

He remains a pretty raw talent but is someone that could develop into a quality option in the final third with a bit of patience.

Another player that looks set to leave Villa this summer having not had many chances with the Midlands club, O'Hare has produced some dazzling performances for Coventry City this season.

The playmaker could help add exactly the sort of creative spark that Wigan's midfield has been screaming out for.

The Brighton defender has impressed since joining Wigan on loan in January and is someone they should be looking to snap up when he becomes a free agent in the summer.

He may be 31 but clearly he still has a lot left in the tank and is someone that fits at the DW Stadium.

The 21-year-old has spent the majority of the last few seasons away from Villa Park on loan and is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.

Cook could do with adding a bit of extra firepower and Green looks a livewire and certainly someone that could thrive at Championship level in the future.

The 31-year-old defender has a huge amount of experience and has helped improve Stoke City's fortunes since arriving at the Bet365 Stadium in January.

Chester looks set to leave Villa when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign, Wigan should look to make the most of that.
