Wigan Athletic are close to agreeing a £3 million deal for highly-rated Crystal Palace star Victor Moses.The Eagles were originally holding out for a fee somewhere in the region of £5 million, but it appears the Latics will get the winger, who occasionally plays up-front, for a few million less.18-year-old Moses is one of the hottest young talents outside the Premier League, with stunning pace and a decent eye for goal. A product of the Palace academy, Moses has been courted by top flight clubs since making his first team debut back in November 2007.Moses has appeared twice for the Eagles so far this season, and Palace have been forced to listen to offers due to the financial constraints they find themselves under.The club owes money to former players, and have had a transfer embargo placed on them by the Football League. This, coupled with the 'goal that wasn't' against Bristol City last weekend, has made for a difficult time at Selhurst Park of late.The sale of one of their biggest assets almost seems a formality, and despite previous interest from Arsenal and Wolves, it appears that Moses is on his way to Wigan.Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the latest football news
