Wigan sign Mallorca defender Ramis

Wigan have signed Real Mallorca defender Ivan Ramis on a four year contract for an undisclosed fee.



Ramis had been linked with a host of Premier League clubs throughout the summer and it seemed he would join West Ham after Mallorca revealed a deal had been agreed with the Hammers last week.



But, Ramis completed a U-turn and has now joined The Latics despite saying last week that Wigan was “not the best offer for him.”



Wigan chairman Dave Whelan revealed that it was manager Roberto Martinez who managed to change Ramis's mind and convince him to sign for the club.



"It's down to the influence of Roberto because the player doesn't speak English and didn't want to go to West Ham who had already agreed a deal.



"But Roberto asked me to go out to Mallorca where I met their chairman and with the club in receivership, they accepted my offer and then I went to see the player," Whelan told Wigan today.
