Fleetwood Town forward Maleace Asamoah, has been linked with a move to EFL League One side Wigan Athletic ahead of the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Wigan Athletic are eyeing a potential swoop for the forward this summer as they target more additions. They are preparing for another year in League One under Shaun Maloney after they finished 12th in the table last season.
Wigan Today report that Asamoah junior is a player of interest to Wigan Athletic while Football Insider claim a deal has been agreed.
Asamoah, 21, has impressed on loan with Irish club Waterford. “I’ve seen the reports, but there’s nothing really to say,” insisted Latics boss Shaun Maloney. “He’s a really talented player, but there’s nothing done on that one.”
Asamoah, 21, remains under contract at Fleetwood Town until June 2025 but his future is up in the air at Highbury Stadium following their relegation to League Two. They finished in the bottom four along with Cheltenham Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United.
Wigan Athletic could see Asamoah as someone to bolster their attacking options.
He joined Waterford on loan earlier this year and has since been a hit with the League of Ireland outfit, scoring six goals in 17 games, as well as chipping in with four assists.
Fleetwood Town signed him in 2023 and he has since played nine times for the Cod Army.
Prior to his switch to the North West outfit last year, he had previously had spells at Reading, Tottenham Hotspur and Cheshunt down south before heading abroad in 2021.
He moved to Kalamata in Greece before joining Olympiacos Volou on loan.
