New Latics midfielder Jordi Gomez says he is delighted to sign for Latics

New midfield star Jordi Gomez says that it was the lure ofworking with Roberto Martinez in the Barclays Premier League that made signing for Wigan Athletic 'one of the easiest decisions of my life.'

The 24 year-old has penned a three year deal at the DW Stadium and says he can't wait to start.

"I had a fantastic time at Swansea last season," he says, "and I really got a taste for English football.

"Roberto is a great manager who likes to get his teams to play good football and to get the chance to play in the English Premier League under him really is very exciting for me."

Gomez says the name of Wigan Athletic is well know now across the football world, and that as an established club at this level, he now wants to help Latics move on to the next level.

"I am looking forward to meeting all the players," he said, "I don't really know any of them personally, only by reputation, so it's a real buzz to be coming into such a talented squad and trying to make my mark.



"Looking at the players already here, it's going to be tough to get in the team and keep my place but that's what I aim to do and I'll be doing my best in every training session and if I'm lucky enough to get selected.

"I just want to thank the club and Roberto for having faith in me and I can't wait to get started in July.

"I had a good relationship with the supporters at Swansea, and I hope the Wigan fans will see a player who gives everything, every time he puts on the shirt."
