After an incredibly difficult year or so, things finally looking to be getting back on track at The DW Stadium for Wigan Athletic.

Confirmation earlier in March of the takeover of the club by a group led by Bahraini businessmen Abdulrahman Al-Jasmi and Talal Al-Hammad means that after more than nine months in administration, the Latics can now start to look towards the future again.

Having been forced to sell so many of their current squad to raise funds, while putting together a side largely made up of loan signings and free agents, that means that this summer could be a busy one for Wigan, as they look to rebuild a team to compete, either in League One or League Two, depending on the outcome of their ongoing third-tier relegation battle.

Here, though, we've taken a look at some of Wigan's transfer business from the past, by looking at the club's ten most expensive signings - according to Transfermarkt - to see just what those individuals have done since then.

We start this list with Denny Landzaat, who joined Wigan from AZ Alkmaar in the 2006 summer transfer window for a fee reported to be worth £3.96million.

The midfielder went on to score five goals in 53 appearances in all competitions for the Latics before returning to Holland with Feyenoord in January 2008, spending the rest of his playing career in the Netherlands, also representing Twente and Willem II, twice winning the Dutch Cup before retiring in 2014.

Landzaat then spent time in coaching in Holland with AZ - at youth level - and Feyenoord, before taking a role as assistant manager of Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia in November 2019.

Another player on this list who joined Wigan during the 2006 summer transfer window is Fitz Hall, who joined the Latics from Crystal Palace for a reported £4.05million.

The centre back would make 25 league appearances for Wigan, before joining QPR in January 2008, where he would stay for the next four-and-a-half years, twice winning the Championship title - once with QPR and once on loan at Newcastle - before making a permanent move to Watford in the summer of 2012.

Hall would spend the next two years in and out of contract with Watford, making 26 league appearances for the Hornets before leaving the club at the end of the 2013/14 season, marking the end of his professional career, with the defender later becoming a consultant for a player agency.

Beausejour joined Wigan from Birmingham City for a reported £4.23million in the 2012 January transfer window, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Latics.

The defender would go on to make 97 appearances in all competitions for the Latics, helping them to their famous FA Cup win in 2013, before leaving the club when his contract expired at the end of the 2013/14 season.

Following his exit from The DW Stadium, Beausejour has returned to his native Chile, spending time with Colo Colo and Universidad de Chile, winning two titles, and two Copa Americas with his national side in that time, before joining Coquimbo Unido, who last season were relegated from the Chilean top-flight, at the start of the new campaign.

Rodallega joined Wigan from Mexican signed Necaxa in the 2009 January transfer window, with the Latics reportedly paying £4.32million for the forward.

The Honduran international would go on to score 24 goals in 117 appearances for the club, including netting the only goal of a 1-0 win over Stoke that secured Wigan's Premier League survival on the final day of the 2010/11 season, before leaving when his contract expired in the summer of 2021.

Following his departure from the DW, Rodallega spent three years with Fulham, leaving them in 2015, a year after their relegation to the Championship, making the move to Turkey, where he played for Akhisar and Trabzonspor, before joining his current club, Denizlispor - who are currently bottom of the Turkish top-flight - at the start of last season.

McCarthy was just 18-years-old when Wigan paid a reported £4.59million to bring the midfielder to the DW Stadium from Scottish side Hamilton Academical.

After that move, McCarthy would make 133 appearances for the club, starting that 2013 FA Cup semi final, before following his former Wigan manager Roberto Martinez to Everton in the 2013 summer transfer window, following the Latics relegation from the Premier League.

The midfielder would spend the next six years at Goodison, although the latter stages of his time there were blighted by a horrific broken leg, before the Republic of Ireland international joined his current club, Everton's Premier League rivals Crystal Palace, at the start of last season.

Ramis made the move to Wigan in the summer of 2012, with the Latics said to have paid Mallorca a fee of £5.4million to secure the services of the centre back.

The Spaniard would go on to make 57 appearances in all competitions for the club before his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in January 2015, at which point Ramis returned to his native Spain to join Levante, where he would remain for the rest of the season.

After leaving Levante in the summer of 2015, Ramis joined another La Liga side in the form of Eibar, going on to make just short of 100 appearances for the club before retiring at the age of 35 at the end of last season after a year dogged by a knee problem.

N'Zogbia joined Wigan from then Premier League rivals Newcastle for a reported £5.76million during the 2009 January transfer window.

Following that move, N'Zogbia made 90 appearances and scored 18 goals in all competitions for the Latics, before leaving the club to join another English top-flight, Aston Villa, in the summer of 2011.

After making 93 appearances and scoring five goals for the Midlands club, N'Zogbia left Villa Park following the expiration of his contract with the club at the end of the 2015/16 season, and it was subsequently reported that after trials with Sunderland, a move to French side Nantes has fallen through for the midfielder due to the discovery of a heart problem, and N'Zogbia has not played at a senior level since.

Following Wigan's promotion to the Premier League, the Latics reportedly paid Wolves £5.81million for the services of Camara in the summer of 2005.

The striker would go on to score 24 goals - 12 of which came in his first season - in 77 appearances in all competitions for Wigan, before leaving permanently for Sheffield United in the summer of 2009, following spells on loan with Celtic and Southampton, and an unsuccessful trial with Hull City.

Camara would spend just a single season with the Blades, leaving the club in 2010, a which point he would spend several years playing for a variety of clubs in Greece, including Atromitos, Panetolikos and third-tier Fostiras, before retiring at the age of 41 in August 2018.

Koumas joined Wigan from West Brom for a reported £6.21million back in the summer of 2007, although the midfielder never really got going at The DW Stadium.

In total, Koumas would make 61 appearances in all competitions for the Latics between 2007 and 2010, and after spending the 2010/11 campaign on loan at Cardiff, his second spell with the Bluebirds, Koumas was released by Wigan in the summer of 2011 following the end of his contract.

After two years out of the professional game, Koumas returned to professional in 2013, joining Tranmere Rovers, where he would go on to make 57 appearances across two seasons with the Merseyside club, before retiring in the summer of 2015.

Wigan would break their transfer record to bring Emile Heskey to the club in the summer of 2006, paying Birmingham a reported £6.75million to sign the former Leicester and Liverpool striker.

Heskey would would go on to score 15 goals in 88 appearances across two-and-a-half seasons for the Latics, before joining Aston Villa in January 2009, staying with the Midlands club until the summer of 2012, when he moved to Australia to join Newcastle Jets.

After two years down under, during which time he made 42 appearances and scored ten goals, Heskey returned to England in 2014, joining Wigan's local rivals Bolton, scoring three goals in 48 appearances for the club before retiring in 2016 following their relegation to League One, with the former England international taking up an ambassadorial role at Leicester to help raise the profile of women's football.
