Wigan have signed Arouna Kone from Levante for a fee believed to be £2.7million, with the striker signing a three-year deal at the DW Stadium.
The deal to take the 28-year-old Ivory Coast striker to wigan is reported to be worth €3.5million (£2.7m) after the striker passed a medical on Tuesday.
The highly-rated frontman burst onto the scene during his time in Holland, with productive spells at Roda JC and PSV Eindhoven seeing him net at an impressive rate.
The striker left for sevilla in 2007, but struggled to produce his best in the Primera Liga.
Loan stints at Hannover and Levante allowed him to get back among the goals, and he found the target on 17 occasions last season.
That return was enough to catch the eye of those in the Premier League, and Wigan have won the race for his signature.
The deal represents good business for Levante, as they only exercised the right to make his loan deal permanent earlier in the summer.
