Wigan are to make fresh bid

4 months ago 23rd Jul 15:31

Cattermole is in the England Under-21.

Wigan have made a revised bid for Lee Cattermole.

The Latics are believed to have offered around £3.5m for the 20-year-old England Under-21 international after failing with an initial approach.

In light of the fresh bid, Boro manager Gareth Southgate withdrew Cattermole from Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Celtic.

Southgate revealed last week that the club had received a tentative bid for Cattermole and has admitted he will need to sell before he can buy again.

Cattermole is a product of Middlesbrough's youth academy and has made 69 appearances for the club, scoring three goals.

As a teenager he became established in the first-team squad under former manager Steve McClaren but has struggled to stay in the team under predecessor Southgate.
