A host of clubs including Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic are chasing the signing of Wigan ace Kyle Joseph, according to reports.

The 19-year-old has been one of the very few plus points in a dismal season for the Latics and his performances are attracting interest from some big names in English and Scottish football.

Joseph netted the winner against Sunderland before starring in Wigan’s 4-3 win against fellow strugglers Burton, a game in which the Scottish U19 international bagged a hat-trick.

According to David Anderson, a host of clubs including Premier League sides Sheffield United and Spurs, are taking a look at the player.

It has also been reported that Celtic and Rangers are interested in his services but they could struggle to match Tottenham in any transfer war.

There was interest in the player during the summer but Rangers are hoping to get the player to agree pre-contract terms which would mean a fee would be settled by tribunal and could save them forking out big money.

Blackpool are known to have made an offer last week but the fee they were quoted is thought to be in the region of £1 million.

With Wigan’s ongoing financial issues they may be forced to let the player, who has netted four times in eleven outings this season, go in January as they look to find a new buying following the collapse of a recent takeover attempt from a Spanish consortium.
