Koumas bid accepted

09 July 2007

Hot on the heels of the news of Kamara's departure to Fulham comes a statement from the club that they have accepted a bid of ?5.3 million for midfielder Jason Koumas. A story had been printed over the weekend that he would go on strike if the club failed to grant him a move away, although this went against statements already made that he would be happy to stay for another year if no suitable offers materialised.

Wigan had already seen one offer for Koumas rejected, but resolved to return with a larger one. In the statement on the Official Web Site, Albion Chairman Jeremy Peace said

"We have said all along we will only consider selling players like Diomansy and Jason if we receive head-turning offers and that the deals are in the club's best interests. We feel these offers mirror those criteria."
