Wigan manager Paul Jewell is eyeing up a move for Liverpool’s Swiss international Stephane Henchoz, they have invited the 30 yearl old for a trial after he was made available on a free transfer by Liverpool: "Stephane brings a wealth of experience and would be a great signing for us," Jewell said.

"He doesn’t have to prove anything in terms of quality, all he has to prove is his fitness.

"He’s been training on his own all summer, but from what I’ve seen he’s kept himself in pretty good shape."

"He’s training with us for the rest of this week and then hopefully something will happen when we get back home to England," Jewell added.
