Wigan Athletic are in talks to sign highly-rated Crystal Palace midfielder Hindolo Mustapha on loan.
Journalist Pete O’Rourke reports that the Latics are working on a temporary deal for the Palace youngster as they look to strengthen their midfield options.
Mustapha is regarded as an exciting prospect at Selhurst Park, and a move to the EFL could give him the senior football needed to continue his development.
Wigan are expected to be active in the loan market as they build a squad capable of competing strongly next season.
Adding a young Premier League midfielder would give them extra energy, technical quality and depth in the middle of the park.
Palace are likely to consider the playing-time plan carefully before making a final decision. The right loan could be an important step for Mustapha at this stage of his career.
Talks are now underway, with Wigan pushing to get a deal done.
